We prove an existence theorem for Spin(7)-instantons, which are highly concentrated near a Cayley submanifold; thus giving a partial converse to Tian’s foundational compactness theorem (Ann Math (2) 151(1):193–268, 2000). As an application, we show how to construct Spin(7)-instantons on Spin(7)-manifolds with suitable local K3 Cayley fibrations. This recovers an example constructed by Lewis (Spin(7) instantons, Ph.D. Thesis, 1998).
