Abstract: 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 families one has one-relator pro-p groups which may not be ruled out as absolute Galois groups employing the quadraticity of Galois cohomology (a consequence of Rost-Voevodsky Theorem), or the vanishing of Massey products in Galois cohomology.


Describing maximal pro-\(p\) Galois groups of fields among pro-\(p\) groups is one of the most important -- and challenging -- problems in Galois theory. Already finding natural families of pro-\(p\) groups with many properties that maximal pro-\(p\) Galois groups have and which do not occur as maximal pro-\(p\) Galois groups -- and thus also as absolute Galois groups of fields is quite interesting. The author of the paper produces two new such families of pro-p groups which are not realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields.
