Title: Absolute Galois groups viewed from small quotients and the Bloch-Kato conjecture Authors: Sunil K. Chebolu and Jan Minac Abstract: In this paper we concentrate on the relations between the structure of small Galois groups, arithmetic of fields, Bloch-Kato conjecture, and Galois groups of maximal pro-p-quotients of absolute Galois groups. Comments: To appear in the proceedings of the BIRS workshop "New Topological Contexts for Galois Theory and Algebraic Geometry" in Topology and Geometry monographs.
