Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture for Lie algebras of linear algebraic groups

Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra of a linear algebraic group over C\mathbb{C}. For r,sZ+r,s\in\mathbb{Z}_+, let Dr,s=DrC[y1,,ys]\mathcal{D}_{r,s}=\mathcal{D}_r\otimes\mathbb{C}[y_1,\dots,y_s], and denote its skew field of fractions by Fr,s\mathbf{F}_{r,s}. Let F(g)\mathbf{F}(\mathfrak{g}) denote the skew fraction field of U(g)U(\mathfrak{g}). Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture. There exist r,sZ+r,s\in\mathbb{Z}_+, depending on g\mathfrak{g}, such that

F(g)Fr,s.\mathbf{F}(\mathfrak{g})\cong\mathbf{F}_{r,s}.

This is the formulation introduced by Gelfand and Kirillov for linear algebraic Lie algebras. The supplied status evidence says that the conjecture was settled for nilpotent Lie algebras, sln\mathfrak{sl}_n, and gln\mathfrak{gl}_n by Gelfand and Kirillov; the general formulation is therefore recorded here as solved according to the provided evidence.
