Abstract

Abstract We introduce higher-order Massey products for algebras over algebraic operads. This extends the work of Fernando Muro on secondary ones. We study their basic properties and behavior with respect to morphisms of algebras and operads and give some connections to formality. We prove that these higher-order operations represent the differentials in a naturally associated operadic Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence. We also study the interplay between particular choices of higher-order Massey products and quasi-isomorphic $$\mathcal {P}_\infty $$ P ∞ -structures on the homology of a $$\mathcal {P}$$ P -algebra. We focus on Koszul operads over a characteristic zero field and indicate how our results generalize to the non-Koszul case.
