English A result of Bangert states that the stable norm associated to any Riemannian metric on the 2-torus T ² is strictly convex. We demonstrate that the space of stable norms associated to metrics on T ² forms a proper dense subset of the space of strictly convex norms on R2{/span> . In particular, given a strictly convex norm || · || on R2{/span> we construct a sequence ⟨∥⋅∥j⟩∞j=1{/span> of stable norms that converge to || · || in the topology of compact convergence and have the property that for each r > 0 there is an N≡N(r){/span> such that || · || j agrees with || · || on Z2∩{(a,b):a2+b2≤r}{/span> for all jN. Using this result, we are able to derive results on multiplicities which arise in the minimum length spectrum of 2-tori and in the simple length spectrum of hyperbolic tori.
