How do I calculate the modular fusion category from a given Lie algebra and level in Chern-Simons theory? In Chern-Simons theory, one has modular fusion categories that are labelled by a Lie algebra and a "level", e.g. $SU(2)_2$ ("$SU(2)$ level $2$").
Physically this modular fusion category describes the TQFT/anyon statistics of the Chern-Simons gauge theory.
Now I think of a modular fusion category as an $F$ and an $R$ tensor, where the $F$ tensor has $6$ indices labelled by simple objects and $4$ fusion space indices, and $R$ has $3$ indices labelled by simple objects and $2$ fusion space indices. Similarly, one can think of a Lie algebra in terms of the "structure coefficients" of the Lie bracket in some chosen basis, yielding a tensor with three indices. The level I'm not sure how to formulate in such a constructive language (this is somehow part of the question).
My question: 
Is there a constructive way to calculate the $F$ and $R$ tensor from the Lie algebra structure coefficients? Constructive in the sense that e.g. there is a computer program that takes tensors as inputs and tensors as outputs. And what would that construction look like?
 A: There are two constructions of the modular fusion category. The conformal field theory approach is to take representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra of given level and define a tensor product. This is not the naive one where you would add the levels. Then make it modular.
The other is to take the category of type I representations of the quantised enveloping algeba and specialise q to a root of unity (depending on the level).
Then take the semisimplification of this category; i.e. quotient by the tensor ideal of negligible morphisms.
I believe Lusztig proved that these give the same result.
A: I stumbled over this older question. I actually wrote a program, that takes the type of algebra (A,B,...,G), the rank, level, and appropriate root of unity as an input. It uses the associated quantum group to calculate the F- and R-symbols, as well as the modular data. It's currently slow. You can download the package from GitHub.
The package is based on arxiv.org/abs/1004.5456. More info on the quantum group construction can be found in f.i. Bakalov & Kirillov, Lectures on Tensor Categories and Modular Functors
