Abstract
This paper takes a detailed look at a subject that occurs in various contexts in mathematics, the fixed-point sets of torus actions on flag manifolds, and considers it from the (perhaps nontraditional) perspective of moment maps and length functions on Weyl groups. The approach comes from earlier work of the author where it is shown that certain singular flows in the Hamiltonian system known as the Toda lattice generate the action of a group A on a flag manifold, where A is a direct product of a non-maximal torus and unipotent group. As a first step in understanding the orbits of A in connection with the Toda lattice, this paper seeks to understand the fixed points of the non-maximal tori in this setting.
