On extensions of number fields with given quadratic algebras and cohomology

TL;DR
The paper develops a graph-based framework to compute cohomology of pro-$p$ groups and to realize non-analytic mild quotients with higher cohomological dimension. It leverages Grad, Right Angled Artin Algebras, and Koszul duality to relate the graded algebra ${\mathcal E}(G)$ to the cohomology ring $H^{\bullet}(G)$, with ${\mathcal E}(G)$ often identified with a graph-derived algebra ${\mathcal E}(\Gamma)$. For suitable graph decompositions $(\Gamma_{A},\Gamma_{B})$, the cohomology $H^{\bullet}(G)$ is governed by clique counts $c_n(\Gamma)$, and the cohomological dimension equals $\max(2, n_{\Gamma_B})$. The authors construct (non-analytic) Galois quotients with prescribed ramification and cohomological data, providing explicit arithmetic realizations of pro-$p$ groups with controlled cohomology via Galois theory and RAAG techniques. Overall, the work connects graph combinatorics, graded-algebra methods, and arithmetic Galois theory to realize pro-$p$ groups with targeted cohomology and dimension profiles.
Abstract
We introduce a criterion on the presentation of finitely presented pro-$p$ groups which allows us to compute their cohomology groups and infer quotients of mild groups of cohomological dimension strictly larger than two, from (non-free) mild groups. We interpret these groups as Galois groups over $p$-rational fields with prescribed ramification and splitting.
