Abstract
The authors give the boson realisation of Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras without central terms and construct their indecomposable representations from some representations of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra. The boson realisation of the Kac-Moody algebra SU(2) associated to the Lie algebra SU(2) is discussed in detail.Keywords
