Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $A{d}_{G}Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $AdG$. If $alphacolonGammaoG{L}_n(eal)$ is any finite-dimensional representation of~$Gamma$,we show that $alpha$ virtually extends to a continuous representation~$sigma$ of~$G$. Furthermore, the image of~$sigma$ is contained in the Zariski closure of the image of~$alpha$. When $Gamma$ is not discrete, the same conclusions are true if we make the additional assumption that the closure of $[Gamma,Gamma]$ is a finite-index subgroup of $[G,G]capGamma$ (and $Gamma$ is closed and $alpha$ is continuous).
