Monopole equations on 8-manifolds with Spin(7)-holonomy. (English) Zbl 0946.58028

The authors construct some monopole equations on eight-manifolds with Spin(7)-holonomy. These equations are elliptic and admit non-trivial solutions including all 4-dimensional Seiberg-Witten solutions as a special case.
