Universal First-Order Massey Product of a Prefactorization Algebra

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper studies the universal first-order Massey product of a prefactorization algebra, which encodes higher algebraic operations on the cohomology. Explicit computations of these structures are carried out in the locally constant case, with applications to factorization envelopes on $$\mathbb {R}^m$$ R m and a compactification of linear Chern–Simons theory on $$\mathbb {R}^2\times \mathbb {S}^1$$ R 2 × S 1 .
