Abstract
We prove the existence of two non-isomorphic number fields and such that the maximal two-step nilpotent quotients of their absolute Galois groups are isomorphic. In particular, one may take and to be any of the imaginary quadratic number fields of discriminant -11, -19, -43, -67, -163. Furthermore, we give an explicit combinatorial description of these Galois groups in terms of a generalization of the Rado graph. A critical ingredient in our proofs is the back-and-forth method from model theory.
