Jul 4, 2016 at 7:55 comment added Ben McKay It is not that fancy; you don't need to think about $G_2$ manifolds or Calabi-Yau manifolds. If $G$ is a Lie group and $E \to X$ is a principal $G$-bundle over any Hausdorff topological space $X$, not necessarily a manifold, then the associated line bundles are $L=E \times^{\rho} \mathbb{C}$ where $\rho \colon G \to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$ is a representation of $G$. But if $G$ is semisimple, then $G$ has only on 1-dimensional representation: the trivial one. So $\rho(g)=1$ and therefore $L$ is trivial and admits a flat connection, and so $c_1(L)=0$.
Jul 4, 2016 at 6:36 comment added user94640 Through pull back the bundle $E$ over CY-3 fold to $\pi^{\ast}E$ over the $G_{2}$ manifold $CY^{3}\times S^{1}$. I had proved this assumed, but I can't belive my result.

Jul 3, 2016 at 19:26 comment added Ben McKay But if $G$ is semisimple, then yes because semisimple Lie groups have no 1-dimensional nontrivial reps.
