摘要

We construct Spin(7)-instantons on one of Joyce’s compact Spin(7)-manifolds. The underlying compact Spin(7)-manifold given by Joyce is the same as in Lewis’ construction of Spin(7)-instantons. However, our construction method and the resulting instantons are new. The compact Spin(7)-manifold is constructed by gluing a Spin(7)-orbifold and certain local model spaces around the orbifold singularities. We construct our instantons by gluing non-flat connections on the local model spaces to a flat connection on the Spin(7)-orbifold. We deliver more than 20, 000 new four-parameter families of examples of Spin(7)-instantons within the structure groups SO(3), SO(4), SO(5), SO(7), and SO(8).
