Abstract:
Let be a semisimple complex Lie group, a Borel subgroup, and a maximal torus of . The projective variety is a generalization of the classical flag variety. The structure sheaves of the Schubert subvarieties form a basis of the K-theory and every character of gives rise to a line bundle on . This note gives a formula for the product of a dominant line bundle and a Schubert class in . This result generalizes a formula of Chevalley which computes an analogous product in cohomology. The new formula applies to the relative case, the K-theory of a -bundle over a smooth base , and is presented in this generality. In this setting the new formula is a generalization of recent results of Fulton and Lascoux.
