Abstract
Consider the W-algebra attached to the smallest nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that if an analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for such a W-algebra then it holds for the universal enveloping algebra . This together with a result of A. Premet implies that the analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture fails for some -algebras attached to some nilpotent orbits in Lie algebras of types , , , .
