Abstract

We focus on the cohomology of the $k$-th nilpotent quotient of a free group. We describe all the group 2-, 3-cocycles in terms of the Massey product and give expressions for some of the 3-cocycles. We also give simple proofs of some of the results on the Milnor invariant and Johnson–Morita homomorphisms.
