Abstract
We study the behavior of -monopole Floer homology under connected sums. After constructing a (partially defined) -module structure on the -monopole Floer chain complex of a three manifold (in the spirit of Baldwin and Bloom's monopole category), we identify up to quasi-isomorphism the Floer chain complex of a connected sum with a version of the -tensor product of the modules of the summands. There is an associated Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence converging to the Floer groups of the connected sum whose page is the of the Floer groups of the summands. We discuss in detail a simple example, and use this computation to show that the -monopole Floer homology of has non trivial Massey products
