    added this statement:


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

    G=Spin(7)Spin(8)(\mathcal{X}_i, \mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{X_ G = Spin(7) \hookrightarrow Spin(8)

    then the Euler class χ\chi, the second Pontryagin class p 2p_2 and the cup product-square (p 1) 2(p_1)^2 of the first Pontryagin class of the frame bundle/tangent bundle are related by

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