We show that the 3-fold Massey products $\\langle\\chi_1,\\chi_2,\\chi_3\\rangle$, with $\\chi_1,\\chi_2,\\chi_3\\in H^1(G_F,\\mathbb{Z}/m)$ and $\\chi_1,\\chi_3$ $\\mathbb{Z}/m$-linearly independent, are non-essential. This was earlier proved for $m$ prime. Our proof is based on the study of unitriangular representations of $G_F$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-18T12:11:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12G05", "12E30", "16K50" ], "keywords": [ "massey products", "galois cohomology", "non-prime case", "absolute galois group", "characteristic prime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
