Similarity:

Let ξ be an oriented 8-dimensional vector bundle. We prove that the structure group SO(8) of ξ can be reduced to S(2) or S(2) · S(1) if and only if the vector bundle associated to ξ via a certain outer automorphism of the group Spin(8) has 3 linearly independent sections or contains a 3-dimensional subbundle. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an S(2)- structure in ξ over a closed connected spin manifold of dimension 8 are also given in terms of characteristic classes. ...
