Abstract: We introduce the concept of Spin^G-structure in a SO-bundle, where $GsubsetU(V)$ is a compact Lie group containing $-i{d}_V$. We study and classify $Spi{n}^G(4)$-structures on 4-manifolds, we introduce the G-Monopole equations associated with a $Spi{n}^G$-structure. On Kaehler surfaces a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence can be proved for the corresponding moduli spaces. Using this complex geometric interpretation, we determine explicitely a moduli space of "PU(2)-Monopoles" on $P^2$, we describe its Uhlenbeck compactification, as well as the Donaldson- and the abelian locus.
