Abstract: In this paper we study Higgs and co-Higgs G-bundles on compact K"ahler manifolds X. Our main results are: (1) If X is Calabi-Yau, and (E,,heta) is a semistable Higgs or co-Higgs G-bundle on X, then the principal G-bundle E is semistable. In particular, there is a deformation retract of mathcalMH(G) onto mathcalM(G), where mathcalM(G) is the moduli space of semistable principal G-bundles with vanishing rational Chern classes on X, and analogously, mathcalMH(G) is the moduli space of semistable principal Higgs G-bundles with vanishing rational Chern classes. (2) Calabi-Yau manifolds are characterized as those compact K"ahler manifolds whose tangent bundle is semistable for every K"ahler class, and have the following property: if (E,,heta) is a semistable Higgs or co-Higgs vector bundle, then E is semistable.
