    The paper under review studies weakly exponential Lie groups, i.e., groups whose exponential map has dense image. In \textit{K. H. Hofmann} and \textit{A. Mukherjea} [Math. Ann. 234, 263-273 (1978; Zbl 0382.22005)], it has been shown that being weakly exponential is an extension property. This yields that every solvable connected Lie group is weakly exponential, and that the case of a general nonsolvable group is reduced to the semisimple case. In a previous paper, the authors have determined the simple real Lie algebras whose adjoint group is weakly exponential. In the paper under review, for any semisimple, simply connected group \(\tilde G\), the intersection \(\tilde Z^{\#}\) of the center \(\tilde Z\) of \(\tilde G\) with some maximally split Cartan subgroup of \(\tilde G\) is studied. It is proved that the quotient \(\tilde G/F\) by a discrete central subgroup \(F\) is weakly exponential exactly if the adjoint group of the Lie algebra of \(\tilde G\) is weakly exponential and \(F\tilde Z^{\#}=\tilde Z\). This criterion is compatible with the decomposition of the Lie algebra as a direct sum of simple ideals, and it remains to study the (almost) simple case. This is done in the major part of the paper under review.
