Massey products in differential cohomology.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
We generalize Massey products to differential cohomology and relate these products to trivializations of higher bundles equipped with connection. The construction presented here is analogous to the construction of matric Massey products given by Peter May, but generalized to sheaves. We also prove a theorem regarding the refinement of the singular Massey product to differential cohomology.
