Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of adjoint type over the field of complex numbers, different from $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$. Let $\bar{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$ constructed by C. De Concini and C. Procesi. Let $\bar{B}$ be the scheme theoretic closure of a Borel subgroup $B$ of $G$ in $\bar{G}$. Then we prove that the connected component, containing the identity automorphism of the group of all algebraic automorphisms of $\bar{B}$ is $B\times B$.
Soit $G$ un groupe algébrique simple de type adjoint sur le corps des nombres complexes, différent de $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$. Soit $\bar{G}$ la compactification magnifique de $G$ construite par C. De Concini et C. Procesi. Soit $\bar{B}$ l’adhérence de Zariski d’un sous-groupe borélien $B$ de $G$ dans $\bar{G}$. Nous prouvons que la composante connexe, contenant l’automorphisme identitaire du groupe de tous les automorphismes algébriques de $\bar{B}$ est $B\times B$.
