Abstract

This paper studies the universal first-order Massey product of a prefactorization algebra, which encodes higher algebraic operations on the cohomology. Explicit computations of these structures are carried out in the locally constant case, with applications to factorization envelopes on Rm\mathbb{R}^m and a compactification of linear Chern-Simons theory on R2×S1\mathbb{R}^2\times \mathbb{S}^1.
