'''Modular representation theory''' is a branch of [[mathematics]], and that part of [[representation theory]] that studies [[linear representation]]s of [[finite group]]s over a [[field (mathematics)|field]] ''K'' of positive [[characteristic (algebra)|characteristic]] ''p'', necessarily a prime number. As well as having applications to group theory, modular representations arise naturally in other branches of mathematics, such as [[algebraic geometry]], [[coding theory]]{{Citation needed|reason=unveriviable and unsufficient citation about the source|date=May 2017}}, [[combinatorics]] and [[number theory]].
