Abstract
Let be a closed, 3-connected, 8-dimensional smooth manifold. In this paper, we compute the concordance inertia group of the product manifold for and classify all smooth manifolds homeomorphic to up to concordance for Moreover, we provide a diffeomorphism classification of smooth manifolds homeomorphic to where
