Let \(M\) be a closed connected smooth manifold of dimension 8 and let \(\xi\) be an oriented 8-dimensional vector bundle over \(M\). The principal bundle associated to \(\xi\) has structure group \(SO(8)\). A \(G\)-structure on \(\xi\) is a reduction of the structure group of this principal bundle to a subgroup \(G\) of \(SO(8)\). The authors give a report on their results on the existence of \(G\)-structures on \(\xi\), where \(G\) is one of the groups \(U(4)\), \(Sp(2)\) and \(Sp(2) \cdot Sp(1)\). The problem was studied by the authors in a series of papers [Publ. Mat., Barc. 41, No. 2, 383-401 (1997; Zbl 0896.57015); Osaka J. Math. 35, No. 1, 165-190 (1998; Zbl 0902.57027); Manuscr. Math. 95, No. 3, 323-330 (1998; Zbl 0902.57029)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0906.00019].
