We construct closed $(k-1)$-connected manifolds of dimensions $\ge 4k-1$ that possess non-trivial rational Massey triple products. We also construct examples of manifolds $M$ such that all the cup-products of elements of $H^k(M)$ vanish, while the group $H^{3k-1}(M;\Q)$ is generated by Massey products: such examples are useful for theory of systols.

### $A_\infty$-Minimal Model on Differential Graded Algebras

For a formal differential graded algebra, if extended by an odd degree element, we prove that the extended algebra has an $A_\infty$-minimal model with only $m_2$ and $m_3$ non-trivial. As an

We define the Bianchi–Massey tensor of a topological space X to be a linear map B→H∗(X) , where B is a subquotient of H∗(X)⊗4 determined by the algebra H∗(X) . We then prove that if M is a closed

We show that, for any k ¸ 1, there exist non-formal compact orientable (k i 1)-connected n-manifolds with k-th Betti number bk = b ¸ 0 if and only if n ¸ maxf4k i 1; 4k + 3 i 2bg.

We show that there exist non-formal compact oriented manifolds of dimension n and with first Betti number b 1 = b ≥ 0 if and only if n ≥ 3 and b ≥ 2, or n ≥ (7 − 2b) and 0 ≤ b ≤ 2. Moreover, we

We show that there are homotopy equivalences $h:N\to M$ between closed manifolds which are induced by cell-like maps $p:N\to X$ and $q:M\to X$ but which are not homotopic to homeomorphisms. The

This paper expands some of the issues of the paper math.SG/0506449. We introduce a new technique to produce symplectic manifolds, by taking a symplectic non-free action of a finite group on a

### Formality of Donaldson submanifolds

• Mathematics
• 2002
We introduce the concept of s–formal minimal model as an extension of formality. We prove that any orientable compact manifold M, of dimension 2n or (2n−1), is formal if and only if M is
