Résumé :
Let U( g) be the enveloping algebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra g. Very little is known about the nature of 
. However, if G is a finite subgroup of then very general results of Lorenz-Passman and of Montgomery can be used to relate 
to 
. As noted by Alev-Polo one may read off the Dynkin diagram of g from and they used this to show that U( g)G could not be again the enveloping algebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra unless G is trivial. Again let U be the minimal primitive quotient of U( g) admitting the trivial representation of g. A theorem of Polo asserts that if UG is isomorphic to a similarly defined quotient of U( g'): g' semi-simple, then 
. However in this case one cannot say that G is trivial.
The main content of this paper is the possible generalization of Polo's theorem to other minimal primitive quotients. A very significant technical difficulty arises from the Goldie rank of the almost minimal primitive quotients being >1. Even under relatively strong hypotheses (regularity and integrality of the central character) one is only able to say that the Coxeter diagrams of g and g' coincide. The main thrust of the proofs is a systematic use of the Lorenz-Passman-Montgomery theory and the known very detailed description of 
. Unfortunately there is a severe lack of good examples. During this work some purely ring theoretic results involving Goldie rank comparisons and skew-field extensions are presented. A new inequality for Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is obtained and this leads to an interesting question involving a possible application of the intersection theorem.
