    added statement of this fact:

    Let XX be a closed smooth manifold of dimension 8 with Spin structure. If the frame bundle moreover admits G-structure for

    G=Sp(2)×Sp(1)≃Spin(5)×Spin(3)↪Spin(8) G = Sp(2) \times Sp(1) \simeq Spin(5) \times Spin(3) \hookrightarrow Spin(8)

    then the Euler class χ\chi, first Pontryagin class p 1p_1 and second Pontryagin class p 2p_2 of the frame bundle/tangent bundle are related by

    8χ=4p 2−(p 1) 2. 8 \chi \;=\; 4 p_2 - (p_1)^2 \,.

    • CommentTimeApr 11th 2019

    In 8.1-8.3 of CV98 a cohomological characterization of existence of quaternion-Kaehler structure on an 8-manifold XX is given, but only under the assumption that

    H 2(X,ℤ/2)=0. H^2(X,\mathbb{Z}/2)=0 \,.

    I’d like to get a better feeling for this assumption. Does it rule out “a lot” of qK-manifolds, or is it “harmless”?

    Sorry, very vague question.
