We expect the final theory of gravity to have more symmetries than we suspect and our research points in this direction. To start with, standard general coordinate invariance can be extended to complex holomorphic general coordinate transformations. This is possible by introducing a non Riemannian Measure of integration (NRMI) and where we avoid the non holomorphic standard √(-g) measure of integration. Second, locally signed coordinate transformations where the Jacobian changes sign locally but the Jacobian approaches one asymptotically should be symmetries of Nature. This is unlike globally signed transformations that produce a change of boundary conditions, like in the cases of global parity and global time reversal, which are not symmetries of Nature. The holomorphic extension can regularize the regions of space time where the Jacobian changes sign. Consequences for Quantum Gravity are discussed.
