We then realize the level one irreducible modules at roots of unity and show that the q-dimension is still given by the Weyl-Kac character formula. As a consequence we also answer the corresponding question of realizing the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras of simply laced type at level one in finite characteristic.13 pagesQuantum AlgebraRepresentation Theory17BRealization of level one representations of $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak g})$ at a root of unitytext
