Abstract

We study the formality of the mapping torus of an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of a manifold. In particular, we give conditions under which a mapping torus has a non-zero Massey product. As an application we prove that there are non-formal compact co-symplectic manifolds of dimension mm and with first Betti number bb if and only if m=3m=3 and b2b \geq 2, or m5m \geq 5 and b1b \geq 1. Explicit examples for each one of these cases are given.
