Abstract
We describe the recent basic result of Doplicher and Roberts characterizing the category of representations of a compact group. We indicate their motivation, coming from quantum field theory, and then state some important related category-theoretic questions which have arisen recently in low-dimensional quantum field theory. These questions, which are quite open, have interesting connections with quantum groups and knot theory.
