The algebraic form of the Hamiltonian or Hamiltonian constraint of various (field) theories simplifies considerably if one uses certain complex-valued phase space variables. We show, for a general theory, that if we prescribe first a canonical complexification and second 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 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 Wick rotation transform.
