In this paper we study ${rm Spin}(7)$-instantons on asymptotically conical ${rm Spin}(7)$-orbifolds (and manifolds) obtained by filling in certain squashed $3$-Sasakian $7$-manifolds. We construct a $1$-parameter family of explicit ${rm Spin}(7)$-instantons. Taking the parameter to infinity, the family (a) bubbles off an ASD connection in directions transverse to a certain Cayley submanifold $Z$, (b) away from $Z$ smoothly converges to a limit ${rm Spin}(7)$-instanton that extends across $Z$ onto a topologically distinct bundle, (c) satisfies an energy conservation law for the instantons and the bubbles concentrated on $Z$, and (d) determines a Fueter section, in the sense of Donaldson and Segal, Haydys and Walpuski.

We study a natural contact instanton (CI) equation on gauge fields over 7-dimensional Sasakian manifolds, which is closely related both to the transverse Hermitian Yang-Mills (tHYM) condition and the G_2-instanton equation. We obtain, by Fredholm theory, a finite-dimensional local model for the moduli space of irreducible solutions. We derive cohomological conditions for smoothness, and we express its dimension in terms of the index of a transverse elliptic operator. Finally we show that the moduli space of selfdual contact instantons (ASDI) is Kahler, in the Sasakian case. As an instance of concrete interest, we specialise to transversely holomorphic Sasakian bundles over contact Calabi-Yau 7-manifolds, and we show that, in this context, the notions of contact instanton, integrable G_2-instanton and HYM connection coincide.
The main result is a computation of the Nahm transform of a SU(2)-instanton over RxT^3, called spatially-periodic instanton. It is a singular monopole over T^3, a solution to the Bogomolny equation, whose rank is computed and behavior at the singular points is described.
We obtain non-trivial solutions to the heterotic $rm{G}_2$ system, which are defined on the total spaces of non-trivial circle bundles over Calabi--Yau $3$-orbifolds. By adjusting the $S^1$ fibres in proportion to a power of the string constant $alpha$, we obtain a cocalibrated $rm{G}_2$-structure the torsion of which realises an arbitrary constant (trivial) dilaton field and an $H$-flux with nontrivial Chern--Simons defect. We find examples of connections on the tangent bundle and a non-flat $rm{G}_2$-instanton induced from the horizontal Calabi--Yau metric which satisfy together the anomaly-free condition, also known as the heterotic Bianchi identity. The connections on the tangent bundle are $rm{G}_2$-instantons up to higher order corrections in $alpha$.
We formulate and study the isometric flow of $mathrm{Spin}(7)$-structures on compact $8$-manifolds, as an instance of the harmonic flow of geometric structures. Starting from a general perspective, we establish Shi-type estimates and a correspondence between harmonic solitons and self-similar solutions for arbitrary isometric flows of $H$-structures. We then specialise to $H=mathrm{Spin}(7)subsetmathrm{SO}(8)$, obtaining conditions for long-time existence, via a monotonicity formula along the flow, which actually leads to an $varepsilon$-regularity theorem. Moreover, we prove Cheeger--Gromov and Hamilton-type compactness theorems for the solutions of the harmonic flow, and we characterise Type-$mathrm{I}$ singularities as being modelled on shrinking solitons.We also establish a Bryant-type description of isometric $mathrm{Spin}(7)$-structures, based on squares of spinors, which may be of independent interest.
We apply the method of linear perturbations to the case of Spin(7)-structures, showing that the only nontrivial perturbations are those determined by a rank one nilpotent matrix. We consider linear perturbations of the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spin bundle over $S^4$ that retain invariance under the action of Sp(2), showing that the metrics obtained in this way are isometric.
