Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple complex Lie group, $B$ a Borel subgroup, and $T\subseteq B$ a maximal torus of $G$. The projective variety $G/B$ is a generalization of the classical flag variety. The structure sheaves of the Schubert subvarieties form a basis of the K-theory $K(G/B)$ and every character of $T$ gives rise to a line bundle on $G/B$. This note gives a formula for the product of a dominant line bundle and a Schubert class in $K(G/B)$. 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 $G/B$-bundle over a smooth base $X$, and is presented in this generality. In this setting the new formula is a generalization of recent $G=GL_n({\mathbb C})$ results of Fulton and Lascoux.
