On good (p,r)-filtrations for rational G-modules

In this paper we investigate Donkin's $(p,r)$-Filtration Conjecture, and present two proofs of the "if" direction of the statement when $p\geq 2h-2$. One proof involves the investigation of when the tensor product between the Steinberg module and a simple module has a good filtration. One of our main results shows that this holds under suitable requirements on the highest weight of the simple module. The second proof involves recasting Donkin's Conjecture in terms of the identifications of projective indecomposable $G_{r}$-modules with certain tilting $G$-modules, and establishing necessary cohomological criteria for the $(p,r)$-filtration conjecture to hold.
