contents We give a representation of the extension class associated to a holomorphic fibration by curvature, generalizing the work of Atiyah on holomorphic principal bundles in a natural way. As an application, we obtain a nonlinear analogue of the classical result of Weil on characterizing the existence of flat connections on holomorphic vector bundles over compact Riemann surfaces. We further establish a faithful functor from the category of nonlinear flat bundles reductive of Kähler type to the category of nonlinear Higgs bundles over the same base, which is assumed to be a compact complex manifold of Kähler type. Finally, we establish a notion of nonlinear harmonic bundle and prove that the variation of nonabelian Hodge structure is a nonlinear harmonic bundle in the rank one case and in the semisimple case.
