Abstract: Let $mathscrK(G)$ be the rational cone generated by pairs $(lambda,mu)$ where $lambda$ and $mu$ are dominant integral weights and $mu$ is a nontrivial weight space in the representation $V_{lambda}$ of $G$. We produce all extremal rays of $mathscrK(G)$ by considering the vertices of corresponding intersection polytopes $I{P}_{lambda}$, the set of points in $mathscrK(G)$ with first coordinate $lambda$. We show that vertices of $I{P}_{varp{i}_i}$ arise as lifts of vertices coming from cones $mathscrK(L)$ associated to simple Levi subgroups possessing the simple root $alph{a}_i$. As corollaries we obtain a complete description of all extremal rays, as well as polynomial formulas describing the numbers of extremal rays depending on type and rank.
