Abstract
We define a properad that encodes -pre-Calabi--Yau algebras with vanishing copairing. These algebras include chains on the based loop space of any space endowed with a fundamental class such that satisfies Poincar\'e duality of degree with local system coefficients, such as an oriented manifold. Extending the notion of coformality of spaces, we define coformality of such a pair in terms of properadic formality of -algebra structures on . Using a refined version of properadic Kaledin classes, we establish the intrinsic coformality of all spheres in characteristic zero.
