AB - Borisov-Joyce constructed a real virtual cycle on compactmoduli spaces of stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds, using deriveddifferential geometry.We construct an algebraic virtual cycle. A key step is a localisationof Edidin-Graham’s square root Euler class for SOp2n, Cq bundles tothe zero locus of an isotropic section, or to the support of an isotropiccone.We prove a torus localisation formula, making the invariants computable and extending them to the noncompact case when the fixedlocus is compact.We give a K-theoretic refinement by defining K-theoretic square rootEuler classes and their localised versions.In a sequel we prove our invariants reproduce those of Borisov-Joyce.
