How can we define who are the core project team? some say they are the SME
Of course the PM is one of them

Some think the project core team approach can be very helpful in bringing key partners more closely together like contractors, designers and clients.
It seems that a core project team can play a very important role regarding efficient decision making and communication.
Who else you might think?

As a matter of fact your team should be mostly the core only to achieve high level of efficiency and effectiveness

Sante, thanks for your comment but the steering committee is totally different from the Core project team that's what I have studied in my course.

Does it have to be an explicit set of members? I'd suggest the 'core' could be different based on the particular project - whoever is determined as the individuals who are needed and will be responsible for delivering the objectives.

Andrew, Ok with that but there should be defined members in particular to that group.

Good question - makes me think that some evolution of the Guide might want to consider adding a process called Define Delivery Operating Model which would include such things as specifying the governance model, defining team structures and so on.

Not always Riyadh. "Totally different" would contradict the fact that both the committee and project team have, in part, the same shared purpose, and in fact sometimes share human resources. On some projects, there is a steering committee setup just for that project and the PM can sit on the committee or have voting rights in it: "project managers with voting rights in the executive committees were in fact senior managers who were responsible for the implementation of a specific project."
