We study the relationship between the higher Massey products on the cohomology $H$ of a differential graded algebra, and the $A_\infty$ structures induced on $H$ via homotopy transfer techniques.
We study the twisted cohomology groups of $A_\infty$-algebras defined by twisting elements and their behavior under morphisms and homotopies using the bar construction. We define higher Massey products on the cohomology groups of general…
We show that the tensor product of two cyclic $A_\infty$-algebras is, in general, not a cyclic $A_\infty$-algebra, but an $A_\infty$-algebra with homotopy inner product. More precisely, we construct an explicit combinatorial diagonal on the…
As part of various obstruction theories, non-trivial Massey products have been studied in symplectic and complex geometry, commutative algebra and topology for a long time. We introduce a general approach to constructing non-trivial Massey…
The problem of existence of nontrivial Massey products in cohomology of a space is well-known in algebraic topology and homological algebra. A number of problems in complex geometry, symplectic geometry, and algebraic topology can be stated…
The primary algebraic model of a ring spectrum is the ring of homotopy groups. We introduce the secondary model which has the structure of a secondary analogue of a ring. This new algebraic model determines Massey products and cup-one…
We show how and when it is possible to detect and recover higher Massey products on the cohomology $H$ of a differential graded algebra $A$ with higher multiplications on quasi-isomorphic $A_\infty$ structures on $H$.
We give a self contained introduction to A$_\infty$-algebras, A$_\infty$-bimodules and maps between them. The case of A$_\infty$-bimodule-map between $A$ and its dual space $A^{*}$, which we call $\infty$-inner-product, will be investigated…
Kadeishvili's minimal model theorem establishes the existence of an $A_\infty$-structure, unique up to isomorphism, on the cohomology of a dg associative algebra, which captures its homotopy type. In this note we prove the existence of…
The paper is devoted to study of Massey products in symplectic manifolds. Theory of generalized and classical Massey products and a general construction of symplectic manifolds with nontrivial Massey products of arbitrary large order are…
We give a construction of the universal enveloping $A_\infty$ algebra of a given $L_\infty$ algebra, alternative to the already existing versions. As applications, we derive a higher homotopy algebras version of the classical Milnor-Moore…
The $A(\inft)$-algebra structure in homology of a DG-algebra is constructed. This structure is unique up to isomorphism of $A(\infty)$ algebras. Connection of this structure with Massey products is indicated. The notion of…
We show that the existence of a nontrivial Massey product in the cohomology ring H^*(X) imposes global constraints upon the Riemannian geometry of a manifold X. Namely, we exhibit a suitable systolic inequality, associated to such a…
We define homotopy group actions in terms of families of $A_\infty$ algebras indexed by a manifold M. We give explicit formulae for the $A_\infty$ morphism induced by a path on the manifold and for the $A_\infty$ homotopy corresponding to a…
The theory of generalized matric Massey products has been applied for some time to $A$-modules $M$, $A$ a $k$-algebra. The main application is to compute the local formal moduli $\hat{H}_M$, isomorphic to the local ring of the moduli of…
The purpose of this paper is to compare two spectral sequences converging to the cohomology of a configuration space. The collapsing of these spectral sequences is established, in some cases, using Massey products.
In this work we construct nontrivial Massey products in the cohomology of moment-angle manifolds corresponding to polytopes from the Pogorelov class. This class includes the dodecahedron and all fullerenes, i. e. simple 3-polytopes with…
We provide a uniform definition of higher order Toda brackets in a general setting, covering the known cases of long Toda brackets for topological spaces and chain complexes and Massey products for differential graded algebras, among…
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…
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.
