| Aug 29, 2012 at 9:35 | comment | added | Chandan Singh Dalawat | Perhaps not. For example on p.87 of Steinberg's 1967 Lectures on Chevalley groups at Yale, he says that these relations [including the Steinberg relation] are satisfied by the norm residue symbol in class field theory. | |

He explicitly says that the norm residue symbol in a local field (other than $\bf C$) is a Steinberg cocycle, but I'm not sure he's the first person to have made that remark. | |
