We relate the kernel of the cup product of 1-dimensional cohomology classes for a group G acting trivially on a field R to Hom(G2/G3,R), the space of group homomorphisms of the second stage of the lower central series for G into R, by means of explicit computations with cocycles. The precise result depends on whether the characteristic of the field is 0, an odd prime or 2.
