We use the highly symmetric Stenzel Calabi–Yau structure onas a testing ground for the relationship between the Spin(7) instanton and Hermitian–Yang–Mills (HYM) equations. We reduce both problems to tractable ODEs and look for invariant solutions. In the abelian case, we establish local equivalence and prove a global nonexistence result. We analyze the nonabelian equations with structure group SO(3) and construct the moduli space of invariant Spin(7) instantons in this setting. This is comprised of two 1-parameter families—one of them explicit—of irreducible Spin(7) instantons. Each carries a unique HYM connection. We thus negatively resolve the question regarding the equivalence of the two gauge theoretic PDEs. The HYM connections play a role in the compactification of this moduli space, exhibiting aremovable singularityphenomenon that we aim to further examine in future work.
