Abstract

For class R, type I solvable groups of the form NH, N nilpotent, H abelian, we construct an explicit layering with cross-sections for coadjoint orbits. We show that any ultrafine layer Ω has a natural structure of fiber bundle. The description of this structure allows us to build explicit local canonical coordinates on Ω.
