Abstract: We introduce a method for obtaining new classes of free divisors from representations $V$ of connected linear algebraic groups $G$ where $dim(G)=dim(V)$, with $V$ having an open orbit. We give sufficient conditions that the complement of this open orbit, the "exceptional orbit variety", is a free divisor (or a slightly weaker free* divisor) for "block representations" of both solvable groups and extensions of reductive groups by them. These are representations for which the matrix defined from a basis of associated "representation vector fields" on $V$ has block triangular form, with blocks satisfying certain nonsingularity conditions. For towers of Lie groups and representations this yields a tower of free divisors, successively obtained by adjoining varieties of singular matrices. This applies to solvable groups which give classical Cholesky-type factorization, and a modified form of it, on spaces of $mimesm$ symmetric, skew-symmetric or general matrices. For skew-symmetric matrices, it further extends to representations of nonlinear infinite dimensional solvable Lie algebras.
