    Let \(G\) be a reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic \(p>0\). If \(H\) is a reductive closed subgroup, then \((G,H)\) is called a reductive pair if \(\text{Lie\,}H\) is a direct summand, as an \(H\)-module, of \(\text{Lie\,}G\). The author mostly studies the case where \(G=\text{GL}(V)\) and \(H\) is \(\text{SL}_2(K)\) or \(\text{PSL}_2(K)\). So \(V\) is now a representation of \(\text{SL}_2(K)\). The first main result classifies all simple modules \(V=L(\lambda)\) for \(\text{SL}_2(K)\) that lead to a reductive pair. Recall that the costandard \(\text{SL}_2(K)\)-module \(\nabla(n)\) is the \(n\)-th symmetric power of the natural module. The author also classifies all \(V=\nabla(n)\) that lead to a reductive pair. The paper ends with some examples involving representations of \(\text{SL}_3(K)\).
