Formality conjecture for the geometric Chern–Simons construction

Let MM be a connected, oriented, closed Riemannian manifold with \HDR1(M)=0\HDR^1(M)=0, and suppose that MM is formal. In the situation of the equivalence conjecture, let \PMC\PMC be the Chern–Simons Maurer–Cartan element. Geometric formality conjecture. The twisted algebra \dIBL\PMC(\CycC(\HDR(M)))\dIBL^\PMC(\CycC(\HDR(M))) is \IBLInfty\IBLInfty-homotopy equivalent to \dIBL\MC(\CycC(\HDR(M)))\dIBL^\MC(\CycC(\HDR(M))). This is presented as a potentially easier consequence of the algebraic–geometric equivalence conjecture; no proof is supplied.
