Let be a nilpotent Lie algebra which is an exponential -module, being an exponential algebra of derivations of . Put = exp and = exp . If Ω is a closed orbit of * under the action of , then Ker is dense in Ker Ω for the topology of L1 () and the algebra Ker is nilpotent, where denotes the minimal closed ideal of L1() whose hull is Ω. Moreover, the -prime ideals of Ll() coincide with the kernels Ker Ω, where Ω denotes an arbitrary orbit (not necessarily closed) in *.
