Let G be a connected, reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of zero or good and odd characteristic. We characterize spherical conjugacy classes in G as those intersecting only Bruhat cells in G corresponding to involutions in the Weyl group of G.

Soit G un groupe algébrique réductif connexe, sur un corps algébriquement clos de caractéristique zéro ou bonne et impaire. Nous caractérisons les classes de conjugaison sphériques de G comme celles ayant une intersection seulement avec des cellules de Bruhat de G correspondantes à des involutions dans le groupe de Weyl de G.
