Abstract: The Adler Kostant Symes [A-K-S] scheme is used to describe mechanical systems for quadratic Hamiltonians of $mathbb{R}^{2n}$ on coadjoint orbits of the Heisenberg Lie group. The coadjoint orbits are realized in a solvable Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ that admits an ad-invariant metric. Its quadratic induces the Hamiltonian on the orbits, whose Hamiltonian system is equivalent to that one on $mathbb{R}^{2n}$. This system is a Lax pair equation whose solution can be computed with help of the Adjoint representation. For a certain class of functions, the Poisson commutativity on the coadjoint orbits in $mathfrakg$ is related to the commutativity of a family of derivations of the 2n+1-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra $mathfrak{h}_n$. Therefore the complete integrability is related to the existence of an n-dimensional abelian subalgebra of certain derivations in $mathfrak{h}_n$. For instance, the motion of n-uncoupled harmonic oscillators near an equilibrium position can be described with this setting.
