Existance of regular semisimple elements in a torus

278 Views Asked by At

I had asked a question about regular semisimple elements in finite simple group of Lie type in this link https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/714029/existance-of-semisimple-elements-in-a-torus Actually I wanted to know that is it true that every torus in finite simple group of lie type namely $G$ over finite field of order $q$ contains a regular semisimple element? Jack Schmidt had led me to a MO discussion which I think it says the that statement is true for large enough $q$.

Recently I have read an article The number of regular ...: which says :

"Suppose $\{\mathbb{C}\}$ is the set of regular conjugacy classes of $G$ whose centralizer is $G$-conjugate to a twisted maximal torus $T_{[w]}$ wher $[w]$ is .... . Then $|\{\mathbb{C}\}|=|T(w,Q)|/|Z_W(w)|$."

Now I want to conclude from this statement that $|\{\mathbb{C}\}|\neq 0$ for every maximal torus of $G$. Is it true?
