Abstract: We consider spaces of "virtual" constrained generalized Killing spinors, i.e. spaces of Majorana spinors which correspond to "off-shell" $s$-extended supersymmetry in compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity based on eight-manifolds $M$. Such spaces naturally induce two stratifications of $M$, called the chirality and stabilizer stratification. For the case $s=2$, we describe the former using the canonical Whitney stratification of a three-dimensional semi-algebraic set $calR$. We also show that the stabilizer stratification coincides with the rank stratification of a cosmooth generalized distribution ${calD}_0$ and describe it explicitly using the Whitney stratification of a four-dimensional semi-algebraic set $mathfrakP$. The stabilizer groups along the strata are isomorphic with $mathrmSU(2)$, $mathrmSU(3)$, $mathrm{G}_2$ or $mathrmSU(4)$, where $mathrmSU(2)$ corresponds to the open stratum, which is generically non-empty. We also determine the rank stratification of a larger generalized distribution $calD$ which turns out to be integrable in the case of compactifications down to $mathrm{AdS}_3$.
