Oka-Grauert principle

For a complex Lie group, holomorphic principal bundles over a Stein manifold are classified up to holomorphic isomorphism by their topological bundle class. In particular, a topologically trivial holomorphic principal bundle over a Stein base has a global holomorphic trivialization. This supplies global complex gauges for a flat partial connection on contractible complex affine space; it does not impose prescribed behaviour at infinity.
