Abstract
The Pfaffian-Grassmannian correspondence relates certain pairs of derived equivalent non-birational Calabi-Yau 3-folds. Given such a pair, I construct a set of derived equivalences corresponding to mutations of an exceptional collection on the relevant Grassmannian, and give a mirror symmetry interpretation, following a physical analysis of Eager, Hori, Knapp, and Romo.

Key words: Calabi-Yau threefolds; stringy Kähler moduli; derived category; derived equivalence; matrix factorizations; Landau-Ginzburg model; Pfaffian; Grassmannian.
