= Witt bordism classification
{c}

For $k\ge1$, the rational middle intersection pairing induces an isomorphism $\Omega_{4k}^{\mathrm{Witt}}\cong W(\mathbb Q)$. The restriction $k>0$ matters: the degree-zero group is $\mathbb Z$. In positive dimension congruent to zero modulo four, a space is Witt null-bordant precisely when its middle <intersection form> is metabolic.
