Idea

The Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence states that over suitable complex manifolds the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles and that of Hermite-Einstein connections are essentially the same.

For the special case over Kähler manifolds this is the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem. For the special case over Riemann surfaces it is the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem. See also Deligne’s characterization of intermediate Jacobians (in particular there at Examples – Picard variety).
