    Abstract

    Any oriented 4-dimensional real vector bundle is naturally a line bundle over
    a bundle of quaternion algebras. In this paper we give an account of modules
    over bundles of quaternion algebras, discussing Morita equivalence,
    characteristic classes and K-theory. The results have been used to describe
    obstructions for the existence of almost quaternionic structures on
    8-dimensional Spinc manifolds and may be of some interest, also, in
    quaternionic and algebraic geometry.
