We consider certain Massey products in the cohomology of a Galois extension of fields with coefficients in p-power roots of unity. We prove formulas for these products both in general and in the special case that the Galois extension in…

We show that a strong vanishing conjecture for $n$-fold Massey products holds for fields of virtual cohomological dimension at most $1$ using a theorem of Haran. We also prove the same for PpC fields, using results of Haran--Jarden. Finally…

Let $p$ be a prime number, let $G$ be a profinite group, let $\theta\colon G\to \mathbb{Z}_p^{\times}$ be a continuous character, and for all $n\geq 1$ write $\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}(1)$ for the twist of $\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}$ by the…

A central conjecture of Coates and Sujatha predicts that the fine Selmer group of any $p$-adic Galois representation is cotorsion over the relevant Iwasawa algebra with vanishing $\mu$-invariant, generalizing Iwasawa's original conjecture…

We give a uniform vanishing criterion for products in bounded cohomology. This allows us to reprove and extend previous vanishing results for cup products and Massey triple products in the bounded cohomology of free groups and in the…

Let $p$ be a prime. We produce two new families of pro-$p$ groups which are not realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields. To prove this we use the 1-smoothness property of absolute Galois pro-$p$ groups. Moreover, we show in these…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove that certain amalgamated free pro-$p$ products of Demushkin groups with pro-$p$-cyclic amalgam cannot give rise to a 1-cyclotomic oriented pro-$p$ group, and thus do not occur as maximal pro-$p$ Galois groups of…

Fix an arbitrary prime $p$. Let $F$ be a field containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity, with absolute Galois group $G_F$, and let $H^n$ denote its mod $p$ cohomology group $H^n(G_F,\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$. The triple Massey product of…

Let $K$ be a global field which contains a primitive $p$-th root of unity, where $p$ is a prime number. M. J. Hopkins and K. G. Wickelgren showed that for $p=2$, any triple Massey product over $K$ with respect to $\mathbb{F}_p$, contains 0…

The free profinite product of finitely many absolute Galois group is an absolute Galois group.

We prove Grauert-Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorems for excellent dlt threefolds pairs whose closed points have perfect residue fields of positive characteristic $p>5$. Then we discuss applications to dlt singularities and to Mori…

For $m\geq2$, let $F$ be a field of characteristic prime to $m$ and containing the roots of unity of order $m$, and let $G_F$ be its absolute Galois group. We show that the 3-fold Massey products $\langle\chi_1,\chi_2,\chi_3\rangle$, with…

For all primes $p$ and all fields, we find a sufficient and necessary condition of the existence of a unipotent Galois extension of degree $p^6$. The main goal of this paper is to describe an explicit construction of such a Galois extension…

Let $n\geq 3$. We show that for every number field $K$ with $\zeta_p \notin K$, the absolute and tame Galois groups of $K$ satisfy the strong $n$-fold Massey property relative to $p$. Our work is based on an adapted version of the proof of…

We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $F$ be a field of characteristic different from $p$. We prove that there exist a field extension $L/F$ and $a,b,c,d$ in $L^{\times}$ such that $(a,b)=(b,c)=(c,d)=0$ in $\mathrm{Br}(F)[p]$ but $\langle…

In this paper, we describe minimal presentations of maximal pro-$2$ quotients of absolute Galois groups of formally real Pythagorean fields of finite type. For this purpose, we introduce a new class of pro-$2$ groups: $\Delta$-Right Angled…

A splitting field of a central simple algebra is said to be absolute Galois if it is Galois over some fixed subfield of the centre of the algebra. The paper provides an existence theorem for such fields over global fields with enough roots…

Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field and $E$ an elliptic curve over $K$ with potential good reduction. For some large Galois extensions $L$ of $K$ containing all $p$-power roots of unity, we show the vanishing of certain Galois cohomology groups of…

In this note we show that the property of having only vanishing triple Massey products in the equivariant cohomology is inherited by the set of fixed points of hamiltonian circle actions on closed symplectic manifolds. This result can be…
