We construct two families of examples of pro-p groups, with rather elementary presentations, that do not complete into 1-cyclotomic oriented pro-p groups. These provide brand new examples of pro-p groups that do not occur as maximal pro-p…

Let $p$ be a prime. We characterize the oriented right-angled Artin pro-$p$ groups whose $\mathbb{F}_p$-cohomology algebra yields no essential $n$-fold Massey products for every $n>2$, in terms of the associated digraph. Moreover, we show…

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…

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…

We prove that a free profinite (pro-$p$) product over a set converging to 1 of countably many Demushkin groups of rank $\aleph_0$, $G_i$, that can be realized as absolute Galois groups, is isomorphic to an absolute Galois group if and only…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove that a positive solution to Efrat's Elementary Type Conjecture implies a positive solution to the strengthened version of Mina\v{c}--T\^an's Massey Vanishing Conjecture in the case of finitely generated maximal…

We show that the absolute Galois group of any field has the vanishing triple Massey product property. Several corollaries for the structure of maximal pro-$p$-quotient of absolute Galois groups are deduced. Furthermore, the vanishing of…

This paper proves that if $E$ is a field, such that the Galois group $\mathcal{G}(E(p)/E)$ of the maximal $p$-extension $E(p)/E$ is a Demushkin group of finite rank $r(p)_{E} \ge 3$, for some prime number $p$, then $\mathcal{G}(E(p)/E)$…

A pro-$p$ group $G$ is called strongly Frattini-resistant if the function $H \mapsto \Phi(H)$, from the poset of all closed subgroups of $G$ into itself, is a poset embedding. Frattini-resistant pro-$p$ groups appear naturally in Galois…

We fix a prime p and construct new cases of pro-p extensions of number fields with restricted ramification and splitting, whose Galois groups decompose as coproducts of pro-p absolute Galois groups of local fields. As a consequence, these…

Let $p$ be a prime. The right-angled Artin pro-$p$ group $G_{\Gamma}$ associated to a fnite simplicial graph $\Gamma$ is the pro-$p$ completion of the right-angled Artin group associated to $\Gamma$. We prove that the following assertions…

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…

Let $p$ be a prime. Following Snopce-Tanushevski, a pro-$p$ group $G$ is called Frattini-resistant if the function $H\mapsto\Phi(H)$, from the poset of all closed finitely-generated subgroups of $G$ into itself, is a poset embedding. We…

We prove that a finitely generated pro-$p$ group acting on a pro-$p$ tree $T$ with procyclic edge stabilizers is the fundamental pro-$p$ group of a finite graph of pro-$p$ groups with edge and vertex groups being stabilizers of certain…

For any prime $p$ and group $G$, denote the pro-$p$ completion of $G$ by $\hat{G}^p$. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all groups $G$ such that, for each natural number $n$ and prime number $p$, $H^n(\hat{G^p},\mathbb Z/p)\cong H^n(G,…

We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first…

The main problem this thesis deals with is the characterization of profinite groups which are realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields: this is currently one of the major problems in Galois theory. Usually one reduces the problem to…

Profinite groups with a cyclotomic $p$-orientation are introduced and studied. The special interest in this class of groups arises from the fact that any absolute Galois group $G_{K}$ of a field $K$ is indeed a profinite group with a…

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…

Much work has gone into matrix representations of Galois groups, but there is a whole new class of naturally occurring representations that have as yet gone almost unnoticed. In fact, it is well-known in various areas of mathematics that…
