A bstract Euclidean gravity method has been successful in computing logarithmic
corrections to extremal black hole entropy in terms of low energy data, and gives results in …

We present a statistical mechanical calculation of the thermodynamical properties of
(nonrotating) isolated horizons. The introduction of the Planck scale allows for the definition …

In this paper, we carry out the entanglement calculations on the coherent intertwiners. We
first consider the entanglement introduced by the group averaging of the tensor-product-type …

We first show that stationary black holes satisfy an extremely simple quasilocal form of the
first law, δ E= κ¯ 8 π δ A, where the (quasilocal) energy E= A/(8 π ℓ) and (local) surface …

We study the classical field theoretical formulation of static generic isolated horizons in a
manifestly SU (2) invariant formulation. We show that the usual classical description requires …

We present the Hamiltonian analysis of the theory of gravity based on a Lagrangian density
containing the Hilbert-Palatini term along with three topological densities, Nieh-Yan …

Abstract In the Loop Quantum Gravity, black holes (or even more general Isolated Horizons)
are described by a SU (2) Chern-Simons theory. There is an equivalent formulation of the …

We discuss the effect of different choices in partial gauge fixing of bulk local Lorentz
invariance, on the description of the horizon degrees of freedom of a Schwarzschild black …

Isolated horizons model equilibrium states of classical black holes. A detailed quantization,
starting from a classical phase space restricted to spherically symmetric horizons, exists in …

Criteria for thermal stability of charged rotating black holes of any dimension are derived for
horizon areas that are large relative to the Planck area (in these dimensions). The derivation …
