Soergel, Wolfgang The prime spectrum of the enveloping algebra of a reductive Lie algebra. (English) Zbl 0685.17006 Math. Z. 204, No. 4, 559-581 (1990). We describe the prime spectrum of the enveloping algebra of a reductive Lie algebra as a set and obtain a partial description of the Jacobson topology. Sheaves of differential operators play a key role and are also investigated in their own right.
