Abstract: Let $mathfrakg$ be a simple Lie algebra over $mathbbC$ and let $einmathfrakg$ be nilpotent. We consider the finite $W$-algebra $U(mathfrakg,e)$ associated to $e$ and the problem of determining the variety $mathcalE(mathfrakg,e)$ of 1-dimensional representations of $U(mathfrakg,e)$. For $mathfrakg$ of low rank, we report on computer calculations that have been used to determine the structure of $mathcalE(mathfrakg,e)$, and the action of the component group $Gamm{a}_e$ of the centralizer of $e$ on $mathcalE(mathfrakg,e)$. As a consequence, we provide two examples where the nilpotent orbit of $e$ is induced, but there is a 1-dimensional $Gamm{a}_e$-stable $U(mathfrakg,e)$-module which is not induced via Losev's parabolic induction functor. In turn this gives examples where there is a "non-induced" multiplicity free primitive ideal of $U(mathfrakg)$.
