The triple-cup product form $\mu$ is a classical invariant of $3$-manifolds, determining the cohomology ring up to torsion. Given a closed, connected, oriented $3$-manifold $M$, we describe an explicit formula for computing $\mu$ from a…

Fix an arbitrary prime $p$. Let $F$ be a field, containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity, with absolute Galois group $G_F$. The triple Massey product (in the mod-$p$ Galois cohomology) is a partially defined, multi-valued function…

We continue the investigation started in [Sh:1215] about the relation between the Keilser-Shelah isomorphism theorem and the continuum hypothesis. In particular, we show it is consistent that the continuum hypothesis fails and for any given…

We study the construction of tensor products of representations up to homotopy, which are the A-infinity version of ordinary representations. We provide formulas for the construction of tensor products of representations up to homotopy and…

Generalizing math.AG/0003076 we express universal triple Massey products between line bundles on elliptic curves in terms of Hecke's indefinite theta series. We show that all Hecke's indefinite theta series arise in this way.

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

In this article we extend several foundational results of the theory of complete minimal surfaces of finite index in the Euclidean space to minimal surfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds and, more generally, to marginally outer-trapped…

We show that Fay's trisecant identity follows from the A_{infinity}-constraint between certain triple Massey products in the derived category of coherent sheaves on a curve. We also deduce the matrix analogue of this identity that can be…

Kontsevich and Soibelman has proved a relation between a non-degenerate cyclic homology element of an A-infinity algebra A and its cyclic inner products on the minimal model of A. We find an explicit formula of this correspondence, in terms…

We study the vanishing of four-fold Massey products in mod p Galois cohomology. First, we describe a sufficient condition, which is simply expressed by the vanishing of some cup-products, in direct analogy with the work of Guillot,…

Let $Y$ be a closed Calabi-Yau manifold. Let $\omega$ be the K\"ahler form of a Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric on $\mathbb{C}^m \times Y$. We prove that if $\omega$ is uniformly bounded above and below by constant multiples of…

Let $K$ be a global field which contains a primitive $p$-th root of unity, where $p$ is a prime number. M. J. Hopkins and K. G. Wickelgren showed that for $p=2$, any triple Massey product over $K$ with respect to $\mathbb{F}_p$, contains 0…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $F$ a field containing a root of unity of order $p$, and $G_F$ the absolute Galois group. Extending results of Hopkins, Wickelgren, Minac and Tan, we prove that the triple Massey product $H^1(G_F)^3\to H^2(G_F)$…

Let G be a finite group with cyclic Sylow p-subgroup, and let k be a field of characteristic p. Then H^*(BG;k) and H_*(\Omega BG\phat;k) are A_{\infty} algebras whose structure we determine up to quasi-isomorphism.

We show that the absolute Galois group of any field has the vanishing triple Massey product property. Several corollaries for the structure of maximal pro-$p$-quotient of absolute Galois groups are deduced. Furthermore, the vanishing of…

In this survey, we discuss two research areas related to Massey's higher operations. The first direction is connected with the cohomology of Lie algebras and the theory of representations. The second main theme is at the intersection of…

An expression for a third-order link integral of three magnetic fields is presented. It is a topological invariant and therefore an invariant of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The integral generalizes existing expressions for third-order…

This master's thesis contains an introduction to $A_\infty$-algebras and homological perturbation theory. We then discuss the formality of compact K\"ahler manifolds and present a direct proof of a homotopy transfer principle of…

Using the notion of isotopy modulo $k$, with $k \in \mathbb{N}^+$, we introduce a stratification on the set of all minimal $C_\infty$-algebra enhancements of a finite-type graded commutative algebra $H^*$. We determine obstruction classes…

Minkowski's second theorem can be stated as an inequality for $n$-dimensional flat Finsler tori relating the volume and the minimal product of the lengths of closed geodesics which form a homology basis. In this paper we show how this…
