 Metabolic intersection form of a four-dimensional product

A nontrivial product of positive-dimensional closed oriented Witt spaces of total dimension four has metabolic rational middle intersection form. For dimensions $1+3$, the two Künneth summands in degree two pair only with one another, so either is a half-dimensional isotropic subspace. For dimensions $2+2$, the outside degree-two summands pair with one another, and the $I{H}^1\otimes I{H}^1$ summand has the tensor pairing of two symplectic forms. A Lagrangian in the first symplectic factor tensored with the entire second factor is a half-dimensional isotropic subspace of that summand. Adding one outside summand gives a Lagrangian in the complete middle form. The Witt bordism classification then makes the product null-bordant.
