Abstract: The Hermitian symmetric space $M=mathrmEIII$ appears in the classification of complete simply connected Riemannian manifolds carrying a parallel even Clifford structure. This means the existence of a real oriented Euclidean vector bundle $E$ over it together with an algebra bundle morphism $varphi:mathrm{Cl}^0(E)ightarrowmathrmEnd(TM)$ mapping $Lambd{a}^{2}E$ into skew-symmetric endomorphisms, and the existence of a metric connection on $E$ compatible with $varphi$. We give an explicit description of such a vector bundle $E$ as a sub-bundle of $mathrmEnd(TM)$. From this we construct a canonical differential 8-form on $mathrmEIII$, associated with its holonomy $mathrmSpin(10)cdotmathrmU(1)subsetmathrmU(16)$, that represents a generator of its cohomology ring. We relate it with a Schubert cycle structure by looking at $mathrmEIII$ as the smooth projective variety $V_{(4)}subsetmathbbC{P}^{26}$ known as the fourth Severi variety.
