Abstract

We prove that odd Khovanov homology is mutation invariant over $\zz$, and therefore that Khovanov homology is mutation invariant over $\zzt$. We also establish mutation invariance for the entire Ozsváth-Szabó spectral sequence from reduced Khovanov homology to the Heegaard Floer homology of the branched double-cover.
