Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). Isolated simple singularities \(f\in K[[x_1, \dots, x_n]]\) are classified with respect to right equivalence. The corresponding classification with respect to contact equivalence was done by \textit{G. M. Greuel} and \textit{H. Kröning} [Math. Z. 203, No. 2, 339--354 (1990; Zbl 0715.14001)]. Here the result was similar to Arnold's classification in characteristic \(0\). In case of right equivalence it turns out that there are only finitely many simple singularities. The classification is based on the generalization of the notion of modality to the algebraic setting. It is proved that the modality is semicontinuous in any characteristic.
