Abstract: We reformulate the integrality property of the Poincaré inner product in the middle dimension, for an arbitrary Poincaré $ \mathbb{Q}$-algebra, in classical terms (discriminant and local invariants). When the algebra is $ 1$-connected, we show that this property is the only obstruction to realizing it by a smooth closed manifold, in dimension $ 8$. We analyse the homogeneous artinian complete intersections over $ \mathbb{Q}$ realized by smooth closed manifolds of dimension $ 8$, and their signatures.
