We explain how A. Givental’s mirror symmetric family [14] to the type A ag variety and its proposed generalization [3] to partial ag varieties by Batyrev, Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim and van Straten relate to the Peterson variety Y ⊂ SLn/B. We then use this theory to describe the totally nonnegative part of Y, extending a result from [30].
