This is an extension of some significant ideas of Demushkin, Labute and Serre from local fields to all fields containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. Our techniques use certain natural simple Galois extensions together with some considerations in Galois cohomology and Massey products.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-06T01:17:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "absolute galois groups", "natural simple galois extensions", "th root", "local fields", "massey products" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
