Jul 17, 2019 at 2:01 comment added LSpice The torus $\mathbb C^\times$ can occur in a real Lie group, but it is not of the form you quote. (In fact your definition of torus seems strange, since, according to it, all non-compact tori are disconnected.) Perhaps you are thinking algebraically, so that the torus is really $\operatorname{GL}_1^n \times \ker(\operatorname{Res}_{\mathbb C/\mathbb R}\operatorname{GL}_1 \to \operatorname{GL}_1)^m$; but then again $\mathbb C^\times$, or rather $\operatorname{Res}_{\mathbb C/\mathbb R} \operatorname{GL}_1$, is not of this form (it is a quotient).
