Abstract:
The structure of Massey products is introduced into the bordism ring ${\Omega ^S}$ of manifolds with structure S and machinery is developed to investigate it. The product is changed to one in homotopy via the Pontrjagin-Thom map and methods for computation via the Adams spectral sequence are developed. To illustrate the methods, some products in ${\Omega ^{SU}}$ and ${\Omega ^{Sp}}$ are computed.References
