Adelic double cosets over semi-global fields

Abstract

Double coset spaces of adelic points on linear algebraic groups arise in the study of global fields; e.g., concerning local-global principles and torsors. A different type of double coset space plays a role in the study of semi-global fields such as p-adic function fields. This paper relates the two, by establishing adelic double coset spaces over semi-global fields; relating them to local-global principles and torsors; and providing explicit examples.
