Equivariant Chevalley, Giambelli, and Monk Formulae for the Peterson Variety

We present a formula for the Poincaré dual in the flag manifold of the equivariant fundamental class of any regular nilpotent or regular semisimple Hessenberg variety as a polynomial in terms of certain Chern classes. We then develop a type-independent proof of the Giambelli formula for the Peterson variety, and use this formula to compute the intersection multiplicity of a Peterson variety with an opposite Schubert variety corresponding to a Coxeter word. Finally, we develop an equivariant Chevalley formula for the cap product of a divisor class with a fundamental class, and a dual Monk rule, for the Peterson variety.
