The subgroup $\Omega$ of a semi-simple algebraic group $k$, defined over a field $k$, which is the commutator subgroup of the centralizer of a maximal $k$-split torus $S \subset G$; $D = [ Z _ { G } ( S ) , Z _ { G } ( S ) ]$. The anisotropic kernel $\Omega$ is a semi-simple anisotropic group defined over $k$; $D = \operatorname { rank } G -$. The concept of the anisotropic kernel plays an important role in the study of the $k$-structure of $k$ [1]. If $D = G$, i.e. if $G = 0$, then $k$ is anisotropic over $k$; if $D = ( e )$, the group $k$ is called quasi-split over $k$.
