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 …

A bstract In this second paper of the series we continue to spell out a new program for
quantum gravity, grounded in the notion of corner symmetry algebra and its representations …

The standard model is a remarkably consistent and complete quantum field theory but its
coupling to gravity and the Higgs field remain problematic, as reflected in the cosmological …

We present a method that is optimized to explicitly obtain all the constraints and thereby
count the propagating degrees of freedom in (almost all) manifestly first-order classical field …

A bstract We study the categorical generalizations of a BF theory to 2BF and 3BF theories,
corresponding to 2-groups and 3-groups, in the framework of higher gauge theory. In …

A bstract We study a generalization of 4-dimensional BF-theory in the context of higher
gauge theory. We construct a triangulation independent topological state sum Z, based on …

We present a manifestly Lorentz-covariant description of the phase space of general
relativity with the Immirzi parameter. This formulation emerges after solving the second-class …

In the canonical approach of loop quantum gravity, arguably the most important outstanding
problem is finding and interpreting solutions to the Hamiltonian constraint. In this work, we …

We explore generalized symmetry in the context of nonlinear dynamical gravity. Our basic
strategy is to transcribe known results from Yang-Mills theory directly to gravity via the tetrad …
