Iwasawa invariant and Massey product

arXiv:2402.06028

Abstract

We compute Iwasawa invariant in terms of Massey products in Galois cohomology with restricted ramification. When applied to imaginary quadratic fields and cyclotomic fields, we obtain a new proof and generalization of results of Gold and McCallum-Sharifi. The main tool is the generalized Bockstein map introduced by Lam-Liu-Sharifi-Wake-Wang.
