Extract

0. Introduction. In (8, 9) certain higher order operations, called K-theory Massey Products, were introduced and developed. These operations were designed to investigate the Kunneth formula spectral sequence in equivariant K-theory, constructed in (4). In that application the important feature of Massey products was that they gave operations on certain Tor-algebras which were well-behaved with respect to the algebraic coboundary, δa.
