The coadjoint orbits for the series B , C , and D are considered in the case l l l when the base point is a multiple of a fundamental weight. A quantization of the big cell is suggested by means of introducing a )-algebra generated by holomorphic coordinate functions. Starting from this algebraic structure the irreducible representations of the deformed universal enveloping algebra are derived as acting in the vector space of polynomials in quantum coordinate functions.12 12 or equivalently, R y R y1 s q y q y1 P ,

below.Unfortunately, this is why the construction of the algebra C C was not clarified entirely and has to some extent a speculative character. However, the prescription for the representation of U U acting in the vector space of h polynomials in quantum coordinate functions z U is derived quite unamjk biguously and verified rigorously. In principle, Section 4, concerned with the quantum parameterization of the big cell, can be skipped. But starting directly from the defining relations for the representation could seem then rather obscure.
