Dec 4, 2013 at 13:52 comment added Jim Humphreys @Eupert: Yes, the "absolute" theory pointed out by user76758 is clear, and applies to rational points over $k$ (here all semisimple, with classes of dim $>0$ unless central). But notation gets confusing at times (different uses of $H$ for instance).
Dec 4, 2013 at 12:33 comment added user76758 @Rupert: For any connected reductive group $H$ (such as $Z_G(S)$) and any $h \in \mathscr{D}(H)$, we know its conjugacy class in $H$ is the same as its conjugacy class in $\mathscr{D}(H)$. In what sense is your question is not an instance of that?
Dec 4, 2013 at 10:03 comment added Rupert Thanks. Could I ask something a bit different. Let's say I had an element h in the semisimple anisotropic kernel such that its conjugacy class in the semisimple anistropic kernel is of positive dimension. Can I say that this conjugacy class is equal to the conjugacy class of $h$ in $Z_{G}(S)$?
