Massey products in symplectic manifolds

I.K. Babenko and I.A. Taimanov

The paper is devoted to study of Massey products in symplectic manifolds. Theory of generalized and classical Massey products and a general construction of symplectic manifolds with nontrivial Massey products of arbitrary large order are exposed. The construction uses the symplectic blow-up and is based on the author results, which describe conditions under which the blow-up of a symplectic manifold $X$ along its submanifold $Y$ inherits nontrivial Massey products from $X$ ot $Y$. This gives a general construction of nonformal symplectic manifolds.
