Cocycles of nilpotent quotients of free groups

Abstract

We focus on the cohomology of the kk-th nilpotent quotient of the free group, F/FkF/F_k. This paper describes all the group 2-, 3-cocycles in terms of Massey products, and gives expressions for some of the 3-cocycles. We also give simple proofs of some of the results on Milnor invariants and the Johnson-Morita homomorphisms.
