Classification by the Bianchi–Massey and pentagonal Massey tensors
Classification by the Bianchi–Massey and pentagonal Massey tensors
Let and be closed -connected -manifolds, with and . Let
be an isomorphism of cohomology algebras. Write and for the uniform triple products associated with choices on and on , write and for the corresponding pentagonal Massey tensors, and let be the subspace of defined from these choices. Classification conjecture. The map is realised by a rational homotopy equivalence if and only if intertwines the Bianchi–Massey tensors and, for every pair of choices and such that intertwines and , one has
The conjecture aims to extend the known classification result below dimension by identifying the additional fourfold-product information needed in the borderline range; the surrounding discussion notes that data beyond these tensors may be required above this range.
