Abstract: In spite of many efforts over the past 50 years, the irreducible representations of the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic are poorly understood. Recent work on quantum groups at a root of unity has provided new impetus for the subject. This article surveys what has been done and what remains to be done.
