Jan 11, 2014 at 0:43 comment added Jim Humphreys P.S. Centralizers of inner automorphisms are also studied to some extent in case-by-case fashion, while using some general theory. See for instance the recent Liebeck-Seitz book and references there.
Jan 10, 2014 at 21:37 comment added Jim Humphreys As Nick points out, there is detailed case-by-case information in the literature (such as GLS) on outer automorphisms. For a simple group of Lie type, the group itself forms a large normal subgroup of the full automorphism group, where your question about centralizers is posed. I suspect there is no unified way to answer this.

Jan 10, 2014 at 14:59 comment added Nick Gill The 'inner', 'diagonal', 'field' etc suggest this is a question about groups of Lie type. I would suggest you go to vol 3 of Gorenstein, Lyons and Solomon's rewriting of the classification, who classify centralizers of all involutions. I don't know of any source that classifies every centralizer explicitly, but Carter's books might help.

Jan 10, 2014 at 14:56 comment added YCor You say "Lie group" in the title and "Lie type group" in the question, the latter usually refers to finite groups. Could you clarify?
