(real or complex)
The (real, respectively, complex) dimension of any Cartan subgroup of it. The rank of a Lie group coincides with the rank of its Lie algebra (see Rank of a Lie algebra). If a Lie group $G$ coincides with the set of real or complex points of a linear algebraic group $\widehat G$, then the rank of $G$ coincides with the rank of $\widehat G$ (cf. Rank of an algebraic group).
