Abstract

We define a properad Y(n)Y^{(n)}_\infty that encodes nn-pre-Calabi--Yau algebras with vanishing copairing. These algebras include chains on the based loop space of any space XX endowed with a fundamental class [X][X] such that (X,[X])(X,[X]) satisfies Poincar\'e duality of degree n1n \geqslant 1 with local system coefficients, such as an oriented manifold. Extending the notion of coformality of spaces, we define coformality of such a pair (X,[X])(X,[X]) in terms of properadic formality of Y(n)Y^{(n)}_\infty-algebra structures on C(ΩX)C_*(\Omega X). Using a refined version of properadic Kaledin classes, we establish the intrinsic coformality of all spheres in characteristic zero.
