Abstract
We study the totally nonnegative part of the Peterson variety in arbitrary Lie type and establish its connection to the strongly dominant weight polytope. In particular, we prove that the totally nonnegative part of the Peterson variety is a regular CW-complex, which is homeomorphic to a cube as a cell-decomposed space. This confirms a conjecture of Rietsch for all Lie types.
