LQG Black Holes
Speaker(s): Leonardo Modesto
Abstract: In this talk we introduce loop quantum gravity and we apply the theory to the black hole singularity problem. The Schwarzschild black hole solution inside the event horizon coincides with the Kantowski-Sachs space-time and we can study a simple spherically symmetric mini-superspace model. We show th... read more

Gravitons and black holes in loop quantum gravity.
Speaker(s): Leonardo Modesto
Abstract: In the first part of the talk we introduce a technique to compute large scale correlations in LQG and spinfoam models. Using this formalism we calculate some components of the graviton propagator and of the n-points function. In the second part we apply the ideas suggested by LQG to the black hole ... read more
