Abstract
If a rational homology 3-sphere bounds a rational homology 4-ball , then the kernel of the inclusion-induced homomorphism is a Lagrangian for the -valued torsion linking form on . In this short paper, we prove that the Freedman-Krushkal triple torsion linking form (arXiv:2506.11941v3) vanishes on this Lagrangian under the assumption that . We then pose several questions about topological rational homology cobordism.
