We study a category of Iwahori-equivariant modular perverse sheaves on some avatar of the semi-infinite flag variety, by adapting the work of Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Braverman-Gaitsgory-Mirkovi\'c. We then construct a functor between the latter category and the category of graded representations of the Frobenius kernel, and conjecture that this functor is an equivalence.
We give a new proof for the description of the blocks in the category of representations of a reductive algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$ over a field of positive characteristic $\ell$ (originally due to Donkin), by working in the Satake category of the Langlands dual group and applying Smith-Treumann theory as developed by Riche and Williamson. On the representation theoretic side, our methods enable us to give a bound for the length of a minimum chain linking two weights in the same block, and to give a new proof for the block decomposition of a quantum group at an $\ell$-th root of unity.
