Abstract
We prove that only the Dynamically - Restricted Anholonomized General Coordinate Transformation Group reproduces Einstein's theory of Gravitation directly when gauged. This amounts to a Modified Poincaré group where translations are replaced by Parallel transport. We also explain the role of GL(4R) and explore the Modified Affine Group. Using the Ogievetsky theorem, we present several No-Go theorems restricting the joint application of Conformal and Affine Symmetries.
