We obtain an explicit irreducible decomposition for the quasiregular representation τ of a connected algebraic solvable Lie group induced from a co-normal Levi factor. In the case where the multiplicity function is unbounded, we show that τ is a finite direct sum of subrepresentations τε where for each ε, τε is either infinite or has finite but unbounded multiplicity. We obtain a criterion by which the cases of bounded multiplicity, finite unbounded multiplicity, and infinite multiplicity are distinguished.
Keywords: Quasiregular representation, coadjoint orbit, Plancherel formula, multiplicity function.
