Let \(G= \exp{\mathfrak g}\) be an exponential solvable Lie group with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\). The paper deals with monomial representations of \(G\). Namely, let us consider a unitary character \(\chi\) of an analytic subgroup \(H= \exp{\mathfrak h}\) with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak h}\) and construct the induced representation \(\tau=\text{ind}^G_H\chi\) of \(G\). The canonical central decomposition of \(\tau\) is given in terms of the orbit method following the reviewer's paper [Prog. Math. 82, 61-84 (1990; Zbl 0744.22010)]. Let \(\widehat G\) be the unitary dual of \(G\), \(f\in{\mathfrak g}^*\) such that \(\chi(\exp X)= e^{\sqrt{-1}f(X)}\) \((X\in{\mathfrak h})\), and put \(\Gamma_\tau= f+{\mathfrak h}^\perp\) with \({\mathfrak h}^\perp= \{\ell\in{\mathfrak g}^*: \ell|_{\mathfrak h}= 0\}\). Then we have \(\tau\cong \int^\oplus_{\widehat G} m(\pi)d\nu(\pi)\), where the measure \(\nu\) is the image under the Kirillov mapping of a finite measure on \({\mathfrak g}^*\) equivalent to the Lebesgue measure on \(\Gamma_\tau\), and where the multiplicity \(m(\pi)\) is equal to the number of \(H\)-orbits contained in \(\Gamma_\tau\cap \Omega(\pi)\), \(\Omega(\pi)\) being the coadjoint orbit associated with \(\pi\in\widehat G\). The author assumes that \(H\) is normal in \(G\). He constructs a concrete disintegration of \(\tau\) into irreducibles and an explicit intertwining operator from \(\tau\) to this continuous sum. He also gives its inverse operator. For the special case where \(H\) is trivial one gets an explicit disintegration of the regular representation of \(G\).
