Abstract
We consider a field and positive integers , , such that is not divisible by and is prime to . The absolute Galois group acts on the group of all unipotent upper-triangular matrices over cyclotomically. Given and an arbitrary list of Kummer elements , in , we construct in a canonical way a quotient of and a cohomology element in whose projection to the superdiagonal is the prescribed list. This extends results by Wickelgren, and in the case recovers the Steinberg relation in Galois cohomology, proved by Tate.
