Spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity: Schwarzschild spacetimes with a cosmological constant
Esteban Mato, Javier Olmedo, Sahil Saini
We provide a quantization of the Schwarzschild spacetime in the presence of a cosmological constant, based on midisuperspace methods developed in the spherically symmetric sector o…

Analysis of improved dynamics of non-rotating charged black holes
Florencia Benitez, Esteban Mato, Javier Olmedo
We provide the quantization of a charged black hole. We consider a redefinition of the scalar constraint in order to render the algebra of constraints as a Lie algebra. We apply lo…

Smooth extensions of black holes in loop quantum gravity
Rodolfo Gambini, Javier Olmedo, Jorge Pullin
Vacuum spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity in the midi-superspace approximation using inhomogeneous horizon-penetrating slices has been studied for a decade, and it has been…
