Choice of connection in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
We investigate the quantum area operator in the loop approach based on the Lorentz covariant hamiltonian formulation of general relativity. We show that there exists a two-parameter family of Lorentz connections giving rise to Wilson lines which are eigenstates of the area operator. For each connection the area spectrum is evaluated. In particular, the

Black holes in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
This is a review of results on black hole physics in the context of loop quantum gravity. The key feature underlying these results is the discreteness of geometric quantities at the Planck scale predicted by this approach to quantum gravity.

Particle Scattering in Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
We devise a technique for defining and computing n-point functions in the context of a background-independent gravitational quantum field theory. We construct a tentative implementation of this technique in a perturbatively-finite loop/spinfoam model.

On gonihedric loops and quantum gravity [PDF]
We present an analysis of the gonihedric loop model, a reformulation of the two dimensional gonihedric spin model, using two different techniques. First, the usual regular lattice statistical physics problem is mapped onto a height model and studied analytically.

Loop quantum gravity and cosmological constant
A one-parameter regularization freedom of the Hamiltonian constraint for loop quantum gravity is analyzed. The corresponding spatially flat, homogenous and isotropic model includes the two well-known models of loop quantum cosmology as special cases. The

Loop-Quantum-Gravity Vertex Amplitude [PDF]
Spinfoam theories are hoped to provide the dynamics of non-perturbative loop quantum gravity. But a number of their features remain elusive. The best studied one -the euclidean Barrett-Crane model- does not have the boundary state space needed for this, and there are recent indications that, consequently, it may fail to yield the correct low-energy $n$-

A Status Report on the Phenomenology of Black Holes in Loop Quantum Gravity: Evaporation, Tunneling to White Holes, Dark Matter and Gravitational Waves [PDF]
The understanding of black holes in loop quantum gravity is becoming increasingly accurate. This review focuses on the possible experimental or observational consequences of the underlying spinfoam structure of space-time.

Peculiar properties in quasinormal spectra from loop quantum gravity effect [PDF]
We investigate the quasi-normal mode (QNM) spectra for scalar and electromagnetic fields over a covairant loop quantum gravity black hole (LQG-BH). For the fundamental modes, the LQG effect reduces the oscillations in the scalar field, however it induces
