Maximal Hamiltonian tori for polygon spaces
We study the poset of Hamiltonian tori for polygon spaces. We determine some maximal elements and give examples where maximal Hamiltonian tori are not all of the same dimension.

Minimality and unique ergodicity for subgroup actions
Let be an -algebraic semisimple group, an algebraic -subgroup, and a lattice in . Partially answering a question posed by Hillel Furstenberg in 1972, we prove that if the action of on is minimal, then it is uniquely ergodic. Our proof uses in an essential way Marina Ratner’s classification of probability measures on invariant under unipotent elements, and the study of “tubes” in .
