Derived equivalences of generalized Kummer varieties

Abstract: In this article we study derived (auto)equivalences of generalized Kummer varieties $\mathrm{Kum}^n(A)$. We provide an answer to a question raised by Namikawa by showing that the generalized Kummer varieties $\mathrm{Kum}^n(A)$ and $\mathrm{Kum}^n(A^\vee)$ are derived equivalent as long as $n$ is even and the abelian surface $A$ admits a polarization whose exponent is coprime to $n+1$. Furthermore we obtain exact sequences involving groups of autoequivalences in the style of Orlov's short exact sequence for autoequivalences of abelian varieties.
