The authors construct the first examples of nonformal simply-connected compact symplectic manifolds. In particular, for an arbitrary dimension \(N \geq 5\), they construct infinite series of such manifolds which are pairwise homotopically nonequivalent. Actually, the authors propose a method of constructing nonformal simply-connected manifolds by symplectic blowing-up ambient manifolds along nonformal nil-submanifolds. They show that, under such a surgery providing some additional conditions, nontrivial triple Massey products in nilmanifolds survive in the resulting manifolds that are simply-connected.
