contents Let $M$ be a manifold which admits a metric with positive scalar curvature (or a positive intermediate curvature in a suitable sense). We study the moduli space ${\mathscr{M}}^{\mathsf{pos}_*}_{\sqcup}(M\times I)_g$ of concordances of such metrics (with appropriate boundary conditions) which restrict to a given metric $g$ on $M \times \{0\} \cup\partial M \times I$. We show that $π_{4*}{\mathscr{M}}^{\mathsf{pos}_*}_{\sqcup}(M \times I)_g \otimes {\mathbb Q} \neq 0$ in a stable range provided $\dim M$ is even. We obtain analogous results when positive scalar curvature is replaced by $k$-positive Ricci curvature for $k \ge 2$.
