Abstract

Let p be a prime number, F a field containing a root of unity of order p, and GF the absolute Galois group. Extending results of Hopkins, Wickelgren, Minac and Tân, we prove that the triple Massey product H1.(GF) 3 → H2(GF) contains 0 whenever it is non-empty. This gives a new restriction on the possible profinite group structure of GF.
