Massey products for homotopy inner products

Algebraic Topology 2025-09-15 v2

Abstract

This paper defines Massey-type products for a homotopy inner product on an AA_\infty algebra, called Massey inner products. We include an explicit description of ordinary Massey products for AA_\infty algebras, and for AA_\infty modules, and show that Massey product sets can have interesting internal structure. We give non-trivial applications from lens spaces, links, and low dimensional manifolds, showing Massey inner products contain information beyond ordinary Massey products.
