CY Principal Bundles over Compact Kähler Manifolds

A CY bundle on a connected compact complex manifold $X$ was a crucial ingredient in constructing differential systems for period integrals in [LY], by lifting line bundles from the base $X$ to the total space. A question was therefore raised as to whether there exists such a bundle that supports the liftings of all line bundles from $X$, simultaneously. This was a key step for giving a uniform construction of differential systems for arbitrary complete intersections in $X$. In this paper, we answer the existence question in the affirmative if $X$ is assumed to be Kähler, and also in general if the Picard group of $X$ is assumed to be discrete. Furthermore, we prove a rigidity property of CY bundles if the principal group is an algebraic torus, showing that such a CY bundle is essentially determined by its character map.
