Abstract
Ulf Rehmann and Jun Morita, in their 1989 paper "A Matsumoto-type theorem for Kac-Moody groups", gave a presentation of for any generalised Cartan matrix and field . The purpose of this paper is to use this presentation to compute more explicitly in the case when is hyperbolic. In particular, we shall show that these can always be expressed as a product of quotients of and . Along the way, we shall also prove a similar result in the case when has an odd entry in each column.
