For an involution <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>τ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>2</mn><mi>k</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> fixed points, it is proved that the fixed point set is isomorphic to the moduli space of principal <i>H</i>-bundles over the quotient curve <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>X</mi><mo>/</mo><mi>τ</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, where <i>H</i> is either <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>F</mi><mn>4</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> or <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo form="prefix">PSp</mo><mo>(</mo><mn>8</mn><mo>,</mo><mi mathvariant="double-struck">C</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and it consists of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mn>2</mn><mrow><mi>g</mi><mo>−</mo><mi>k</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> components. The complex dimensions of these components are computed, and their singular loci are determined as corresponding to <i>H</i>-bundles admitting non-trivial automorphisms.

Finally, as an application of the above results, it is proved that the fixed points correspond to octonionic structures on <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>X</mi><mo>/</mo><mi>τ</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, and an explicit construction of these octonionic structures is provided.
