In ordinary representation theory, the number of simple modules k(G) is equal to the number of conjugacy classes of G. In the modular case, the number l(G) of simple modules is equal to the number of conjugacy classes whose elements have order coprime to the relevant prime p, the so-called p-regular classes.
