Complete Reducibility in Good Characteristic
Abstract
Let be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . A closed subgroup of is called -completely reducible (-cr) if whenever is contained in a parabolic subgroup of , it is contained in a Levi subgroup of . In this paper we determine the -conjugacy classes of non--cr simple connected subgroups of when is good for . For each such subgroup , we determine the action of on the adjoint module and the connected centraliser of in . As a consequence we classify all non--cr connected reductive subgroups of , and determine their connected centralisers. We also classify the subgroups of which are maximal among connected reductive subgroups, but not maximal among all connected subgroups.
