Abstract

In this paper we introduce a direct family of simple polytopes P0P1P^{0}\subset P^{1}\subset\ldots such that for any kk, 2kn2\leq k\leq n there are non-trivial strictly defined Massey products of order kk in the cohomology rings of their moment-angle manifolds ZPn\mathcal Z_{P^n}. We prove that the direct sequence of manifolds S3ZPnZPn+1\ast\subset S^{3}\hookrightarrow\ldots\hookrightarrow\mathcal Z_{P^n}\hookrightarrow\mathcal Z_{P^{n+1}}\hookrightarrow\ldots has the following properties: every manifold ZPn\mathcal Z_{P^n} is a retract of ZPn+1\mathcal Z_{P^{n+1}}, and one has inverse sequences in cohomology (over nn and kk, where kk\to\infty as nn\to\infty) of the Massey products constructed. As an application we get that there are non-trivial differentials dkd_k, for arbitrarily large kk as nn\to\infty in the Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence connecting the rings H(ΩX)H^*(\Omega X) and H(X)H^*(X) with coefficients in a field, where X=ZPnX=\mathcal Z_{P^n}.
