Massey products, toric topology and combinatorics of polytopes

Abstract: In this paper we introduce a direct family of simple polytopes

P^{0} s u b s e t P^{1} s u b s e t l d o t s

such that for any

k

,

2 l e q k l e q n

there are non-trivial strictly defined Massey products of order

k

in the cohomology rings of their moment-angle manifolds

m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n}}

. We prove that the direct sequence of manifolds

a s t s u b s e t S^{3} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w l d o t s h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n}} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n + 1}} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w l d o t s

has the following properties: every manifold

m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n}}

is a retract of

m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n + 1}}

, and one has inverse sequences in cohomology (over

n

and

k

, where

k o i n f t y

as

n o i n f t y

) of the Massey products constructed. As an application we get that there are non-trivial differentials

d_{k}

, for arbitrarily large

k

as

n o i n f t y

in the Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence connecting the rings

H^{*} (O m e g a X)

and

H^{*} (X)

with coefficients in a field, where

X = m a t h c a l Z_{P^{n}}

.
