review text: Let \(G\) be a pro-\(p\), for a given prime number \(p\), and let \(\mathbb{F}\sb p\) be the field with \(p\) elements, viewed as a trivial \(G\)-module. For \(n \ge 2\), the \(n\)-fold Massey product with respect to \(\mathbb{F}\sb p\) is a multi-valued map from the first \(\mathbb{F}\sb p\)-cohomology group \(H \sp 1 (G, \mathbb{F}\sb p)\) to the second \(\mathbb{F}\sb p\)-cohomology group \(H\sp 2(G, \mathbb{F}\sb p)\), which associates a sequence of length \(n\) of elements \(\alpha \sb 1, \dots , \alpha \sb n\) (not necessarily pairwise distinct) of \(H \sp 1(G, \mathbb{F}\sb p)\) to a (possibly empty) subset of \(H \sp 2(G, \mathbb{F}\sb p)\), denoted by \(\langle \alpha \sb 1, \dots , \alpha \sb n\rangle \). The \(n\)-fold Massey product is said to be defined at \(\alpha \sb 1, \dots , \alpha \sb n\) if the set \(\langle \alpha \sb 1, \dots , \alpha \sb n\rangle \) is nonempty, and it is said to vanish if \(0 \in \langle \alpha \sb 1, \dots , \alpha \sb n\rangle \). We say that \(G\) has the \(n\)-Massey vanishing property (abbr., \(n\)-MVP) with respect to \(\mathbb{F}\sb p\) if the \(n\)-fold Massey product vanishes whenever it is defined.\N\NFor any field \(\mathbb{K}\), let \(G \sb {\mathbb{K}}(p)\) be the maximal pro-\(p\) Galois group of \(\mathbb{K}\), that is, the maximal pro-\(p\) quotient of the absolute Galois group of \(\mathbb{K}\). The Mináč-Tân conjecture (stated in [\textit{J. Mináč} and \textit{Nguyen Duy Tân}, Adv. Math. 273, 242--270 (2015; Zbl 1334.12005)]) predicts that if \(\mathbb{K}\) contains a primitive \(p\)-th root of unity, then the pro-\(p\) group \(G\sb {\mathbb{K}}(p)\) possesses the \(n\)-MVP, for every \(n > 2\). The fact that \(G\sb {\mathbb{K}}(p)\) has the \(3\)-MVP has been established by \textit{E. Matzri} [``Triple Massey products in Galois cohomology'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1411.4146}], see also the articles [\textit{I. Efrat} and \textit{E. Matzri}, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 19, No. 12, 3629--3640 (2017; Zbl 1425.1200…
