Massey products for homotopy inner products

Abstract: This paper defines Massey-type products for a homotopy inner product on an $A_\infty$ algebra, called Massey inner products. We include an explicit description of ordinary Massey products for $A_\infty$ algebras, and for $A_\infty$ modules, and show that Massey product sets can have interesting internal structure. We give non-trivial applications from lens spaces, links, and low dimensional manifolds, showing Massey inner products contain information beyond ordinary Massey products.
