    If K is an infinite field and if \(G=GL(n,K)\) with discrete topology, then all principal-series representations of G are irreducible, and any two such with the same central character \(\psi\) are weakly equivalent to one another and to the \(\psi\)-regular representation. Every maximal ideal of \(C^*(G)\) is either of codimension 1 or else a kernel of a principal- series representation. One cannot realistically expect to get any better result. Extensions of the result to other groups are mentioned.
