Abstract: We relate the mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of open positroid varieties (in particular, their Betti numbers over $mathbbC$ and point counts over $mathbb{F}_q$) to Khovanov--Rozansky homology of associated links. We deduce that the mixed Hodge polynomials of top-dimensional open positroid varieties are given by rational $q,t$-Catalan numbers. Via the curious Lefschetz property of cluster varieties, this implies the $q,t$-symmetry and unimodality properties of rational $q,t$-Catalan numbers. We show that the $q,t$-symmetry phenomenon is a manifestation of Koszul duality for category $mathcalO$, and discuss relations with open Richardson varieties and extension groups of Verma modules.
