Abstract

The real form Spin(6,H) in End(R32) of Spin(12,C) in End(C32) is absolutely irreducible and thus satisfies the algebraic identities (40) and (41). Therefore, it also occurs as an exotic holonomy and the associated supermanifold Mg admits a SUSY-invariant polynomial. This real form has been erroneously omitted in our paper. Also, the two real four-dimensional exotic holonomies, whose occurrences were un known at the time of writing, have been shown to exist very recently by R. Bryant.
