Under the given conditions, the simplified expression is
\(-ab^3\).

Given the conditions a > 0 and b < 0, let's simplify the expression


\[ |ab^3| \]

Since a > 0, the absolute value of a is simply a.


\[ a|b^3| \]

Since b < 0, the absolute value of b is -b.


\[ a(-b^3) \]

Now, we can simplify further:


\[ -ab^3 \]

Therefore, under the given conditions, the simplified expression is
\(-ab^3\).
