Excellence of G2 and F4

Abstract

A linear algebraic group G defined over a field k is said to be excellent if for every field extension L of k the anisotropic kernel of the group (G k L) is defined over k. We prove that groups of type G2 and F4 are excellent over any field k of characteristic other than 2 and 3.
