Abstract: Let $G$ be a compact Lie group, and let $LG$ denote the corresponding loop group. Let $(X,omega)$ be a weakly symplectic Banach manifold. Consider a Hamiltonian action of $LG$ on $(X,omega)$, and assume that the moment map $mu:XoLf{g}^{\ast }$ is proper. We consider the function $|mu{|}^2:XoR$, and use a version of Morse theory to show that the inclusion map $j:m{u}^{-1}(0)oX$ induces a surjection $j^{\ast }:H_G^{\ast }(X)o{H}_G^{\ast }(m{u}^{-1}(0))$, in analogy with Kirwan's surjectivity theorem in the finite-dimensional case. We also prove a version of this surjectivity theorem for quasi-Hamiltonian $G$-spaces.
