Let D be the factor of the enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra by its minimal primitive ideal with trival central character. We give a geometric description of the Chern character ch: K0(D)→HC0(D) and the state (of the maximal ideal m) s: K0(D)→K0(D/m) = ℤ in terms of the Euler characteristic χ:K0()→ℤ, where is the associated flag variety.
