Abstract: For various theories, in particular gauge field theories, the algebraic form of the Hamiltonian simplifies considerably if one writes it in terms of certain complex variables. Also general relativity when written in the new canonical variables introduced by Ashtekar belongs to that category, the Hamiltonian being replaced by the so-called scalar (or Wheeler-DeWitt) constraint. In order to ensure that one is dealing with the correct physical theory one has to impose certain reality conditions on the classical phase space which generally are algebraically quite complicated and render the task of finding an appropriate inner product into a difficult one. This article shows, for a general theory, that if we prescribe first a {em canonical} complexification and second a representation of the canonical commutation relations in which the real connection is diagonal, then there is only one choice of a holomorphic representation which incorporates the correct reality conditions {em and} keeps the Hamiltonian (constraint) algebraically simple ! We derive a canonical algorithm to obtain this holomorphic representation and in particular explicitly compute it for quantum gravity in terms of a {em Wick rotation transform}.
