Topology of moment-angle manifolds arising from flag nestohedra (Q1688140)

In the paper under review, the author constructs a family of manifolds, one for each \(n\geq2\), having a nontrivial Massey \(n\)-product in their cohomology for any given \(n\). These manifolds turn out to be smooth closed \(2\)-connected manifolds with a compact torus \(\mathbb{T}^m\)-action called moment-angle manifolds \(\mathcal{Z}_P\), whose orbit spaces are simple \(n\)-dimensional polytopes \(P\) obtained from an \(n\)-cube by a sequence of truncations of faces of codimension \(2\) only (\(2\)-truncated cubes). Moreover, the polytopes \(P\) are flag nestohedra but not graph-associahedra. The author also describes the numbers \(\beta^{-i,2(i+1)}(Q)\) for an associahedron \(Q\) in terms of its graph structure and relates it to the structure of the loop homology (Pontryagin algebra) \(H_{\ast}(\Omega\mathcal{Z}_Q)\), and then studies higher Massey products in \(H^{\ast}(\mathcal{Z}_Q)\) for a graph-associahedron \(Q\).
