(in the sense of some radical)
A group whose radical is the identity subgroup. Thus, the concept of a semi-simple group is entirely defined by the choice of a radical class of groups. In the theory of finite groups and Lie groups, by a radical one usually understands a maximal (connected) solvable normal subgroup. In these cases, the description of semi-simple groups is essentially reduced to the description of simple groups.
