Abstract: In previous work, we introduced the notion of binomial cup-one algebras, which are differential graded algebras endowed with Steenrod $cu{p}_1$-products and compatible binomial operations. Given such an $R$-dga, $(A,d_A)$, defined over the ring $R=mathbbZ$ or $mathbb{Z}_p$ (for $p$ a prime), with $H^0(A)=R$ and with $H^1(A)$ a finitely generated, free $R$-module, we show that $A$ admits a functorially defined 1-minimal model, $hocolon(mathcalM(A),d)o(A,d_A)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Furthermore, we associate to this model a pronilpotent group, $G(A)$, which only depends on the 1-quasi-isomorphism type of $A$. These constructions, which refine classical notions from rational homotopy theory, allow us to distinguish spaces with isomorphic (torsion-free) cohomology rings that share the same rational 1-minimal model, yet whose integral 1-minimal models are not isomorphic.
