Massey products in Galois cohomology and Pythagorean fields
Abstract
We prove that a strengthened version of Minac-Tan's Massey Vanishing Conjecture holds true for fields with a finite number of square classes whose maximal pro-2 Galois group is of elementary type (as defined by I. Efrat). In particular, this proves Minac-Tan's Massey Vanishing Conjecture for Pythagorean fields with a finite number of square classes and their finite extensions.
