Mar 30, 2010 at 16:09 comment added LSpice Brian, you're right. I'm just so used to working from the centraliser-of-a-torus perspective that I forgot that it wasn't the original definition!
Mar 30, 2010 at 15:55 comment added BCnrd Loren, for your "trivial" observation, is it really "essentially the definition"? I thought the definition of "quasi-split" is existence of a Borel subgroup over the ground field k, and then one has to make an argument using the relative structure theory to identify such centralizers with Levi subgroups of minimal k-parabolic subgroups (so the minimal ones are Borels, or equivalently solvable, if and only if these centralizers are tori).

Minor wording change.
