文摘Let K2 be the Milnor functor and let Фn （x）∈ Q[X] be the n-th cyclotomic polynomial. Let Gn（Q） denote a subset consisting of elements of the form {a, Фn（a）}, where a ∈ Q^＊ and {, } denotes the Steinberg symbol in K2Q. J. Browkin proved that Gn（Q） is a subgroup of K2Q if n = 1,2, 3, 4 or 6 and conjectured that Gn（Q） is not a group for any other values of n. This conjecture was confirmed for n =2^T 3S or n = p^r, where p ≥ 5 is a prime number such that h（Q（ζp）） is not divisible by p. In this paper we confirm the conjecture for some n, where n is not of the above forms, more precisely, for n = 15, 21,33, 35, 60 or 105.
