Abstract: For a Riemannian manifold $M^n$ with the curvature tensor $R$, the Jacobi operator $R_X$ is defined by $R_{X}Y=R(X,Y)X$. The manifold $M^n$ is called {it pointwise Osserman} if, for every $pin{M}^n$, the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator $R_X$ do not depend of a unit vector $Xin{T}_p{M}^n$, and is called {it globally Osserman} if they do not depend of the point $p$ either. R. Osserman conjectured that globally Osserman manifolds are flat or rank-one symmetric. This Conjecture is true for manifolds of dimension $ne8,16$. Here we prove the Osserman Conjecture and its pointwise version for 8-dimensional manifolds.
