Abstract

Let GG be a split reductive group over a finite field \Fq\Fq. Let F=\Fq(t)F=\Fq(t) and let \A\A denote the ad\`eles of FF. We show that every double coset in G(F)\bslG(\A)/KG(F)\bsl G(\A)/ K has a representative in a maximal split torus of GG. Here KK is the set of integral ad\`elic points of GG. When GG ranges over general linear groups this is equivalent to the assertion that any algebraic vector bundle over the projective line is isomorphic to a direct sum of line bundles.
