Abstract
The structure of the group corresponding to a Kac-Moody algebra is analyzed. The two-cocycle for the group is constructed in terms of local coordinates and the transition functions between different coordinate systems are computed. The results are extended to the group which arises in a (3+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory.
