Let the field F contain all /?-power roots of unity for some prime p and suppose that the absolute Galois group G of F is a one-relator pro-p group. We use Merkurjev-Suslin's theorem on the power norm residue symbol to show that G is an extension of a Demushkin group by a free pro-/) group. Let F be a field, Fs its separable closure, and G = Ga\(Fs/F) its absolute Galois group. Let n be an inte...
