“…The superblocks B (ρ,d) of kS − n are labelled by pairs (ρ, d), where ρ is a p-core partition (see section [33,Section 2.3] and [34]) and d is a non-negative integer such that |ρ| + dp = n. It is known that the defect group D (ρ,d) of B (ρ,d) is abelian when d < p. Let b (ρ,d) be the Brauer correspondent of the block D (ρ,d) . Assume then that d < p, then Broué's defect conjecture for the spin symmetric group states that the block B (ρ,d) with abelian defect group D (ρ,d) is derived equivalent to its Brauer correspondent b (ρ,d) .…”
