Abstract: We employ Massey products to find sharper lower bounds for the Schwarz genus of a fibration than those previously known. In particular we give examples of non-formal spaces $X$ for which the topological complexity $TC(X)$ (defined to be the genus of the free path fibration on $X$) is greater than the zero-divisors cup-length plus one.
