Abstract: Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G=G{L}_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H^{\prime }$ of $G$; one takes a limit of $H$ along a cocharacter of $G$ in an appropriate sense. We generalise this idea to arbitrary reductive $G$ using the notion of $G$-complete reducibility and results from geometric invariant theory over non-algebraically closed fields due to the authors and Herpel. Our construction produces a $G$-completely reducible subgroup $H^{\prime }$ of $G$, unique up to $G(k)$-conjugacy, which we call a $k$-semisimplification of $H$. This gives a single unifying construction which extends various special cases in the literature (in particular, it agrees with the usual notion for $G=G{L}_n$ and with Serre's "$G$-analogue" of semisimplification for subgroups of $G(k)$). We also show that under some extra hypotheses, one can pick $H^{\prime }$ in a more canonical way using the Tits Centre Conjecture for spherical buildings and/or the theory of optimal destabilising cocharacters introduced by Hesselink, Kempf and Rousseau.
