On complete reducibility in characteristic $p$

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ which is algebraically closed of characteristic $p\mathrm{\ne }0$. We prove a structure theorem for a class of subgroup schemes of $G$, for $p$ bounded below by the Coxeter number of $G$. As applications, we derive semi-simplicity results, generalizing earlier results of Serre proven in 1998, and also obtain an analogue of Luna’s 'etale slice theorem for suitable bounds on $p$.
