I understand that quantum groups at roots of unity are related to physics because they are used in the construction of Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants, conjectured by Witten. Are there other relations of quantum groups at roots of unity to physics? Also, modular representation theory of Lie algebras is related to quantum groups at roots of unity via Andersen-Jantzen-Soergel. Modular representation theory is a very active area of research, and I am wondering if there are relations between results/questions in this area and physics.
