Abstract

We show that actions of the odd categorification of sl(2) induce derived superequivalences analogous to those introduced by Chuang and Rouquier. Using Kang, Kashiwara, and Oh's action of the odd 2-category on blocks of the cyclotomic affine Hecke-Clifford algebra, our equivalences imply that blocks related by a certain affine Weyl group action are derived equivalent. By recent results of Kleshchev and Livesey, we show this implies Broue's abelian defect conjecture for the modular representations of the spin symmetric group.
