Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group and let $g{=}_{-}+hh+$ be a triangular decomposition of $g=hboxLie,G$. Let $$ and let $H,N,B$ be Lie subgroups of $G$ corresponding respectively to $hh,$ and $$. We may identify ${}_{-}$ with the dual space to ${\displaystyle }$. The coadjoint action of $N$ on ${}_{-}$ extends to an action of $B$ on ${}_{-}$. There exists a unique nonempty Zariski open orbit $X$ of $B$ on ${}_{-}$. Any $N$-orbit in $X$ is a maximal coadjoint orbit of $N$ in ${}_{-}$. The cascade of orthogonal roots defines a cross-section ${}_{-}^{imes}$ of the set of such orbits leading to a decomposition ${\displaystyle }$X = N/R imes _-^{ imes}.${\displaystyle }$ This decomposition, among other things, establishes the structure of $S({)}^{}$ as a polynomial ring generated by the prime polynomials of $H$-weight vectors in $S({)}^{}$. It also leads tothe multiplicity 1 of $H$ weights in $S({)}^{}$.
