Abstract: We consider the octonionic self-duality equations on eight-dimensional manifolds of the form $M_8=M_{4}imes{R}^4$, where $M_4$ is a hyper-K"ahler four-manifold. We construct explicit solutions to these equations and their symmetry reductions to the non-abelian Seiberg-Witten equations on $M_4$ in the case when the gauge group is SU(2). These solutions are singular for flat and Eguchi-Hanson backgrounds. For $M_4=RimesmathcalG$ with a cohomogeneity one hyper-K"ahler metric, where $mathcalG$ is a nilpotent (Bianchi II) Lie group, we find a solution which is singular only on a single-sided domain wall. This gives rise to a regular solution of the non-abelian Seiberg-Witten equations on a four-dimensional nilpotent Lie group which carries a regular conformally hyper-K"ahler metric.
