This paper describes all the group 2-, 3-cocycles in terms of Massey products, and gives expressions for some of the 3-cocycles. We also give simple proofs of some of the results on Milnor invariants and the Johnson-Morita homomorphisms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-05T04:36:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free group", "th nilpotent quotient", "massey products", "simple proofs", "milnor invariants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
