The\nmaximal torus of the Lie group and the circle group together generate\na Hamiltonian torus action on the loop gr oup. Results on connectedness\nof level sets and convexity of the moment m ap\, which are attempts to\ngeneralize those for finite-dimensional compac t symplectic manifolds\,\nwill be previewed.\n\nMC 5403\n DTSTAMP:20250710T231020Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
