Corichi assumes the usual SU(2) symmetry for quantum geometry, rejecting the suggestion of Dreyer that the symmetry group is SO(3).
Corichi specifically included the idea that spin-1/2 links could penetrate the BH horizon but argued that because of fermion number conservation they would not be in the majority.
Corichi's paper was referenced in a follow-up one by Motl (that was how I found it in fact).
Spin Foams was the topic of the next session on Sat.
Jan 31st, where Alejandro Perez gave a status report on the Barret Crane model.
In particular, there was discussion on recent progress on the proper definition of the path integral measure for the Plebanski action and its possible relation to the elimination of bubble divergences when the symmetries of the system are properly addressed.
The short summary article on fl hole entropy from loop quantum gravity contained a description of the classical phase space for nonrotating event horizons, followed by a quantization of this phase space and an entropy calculation.
It was written by Ashtekar, Baez, Corichi and Krasnov.
First there's a paper on classical stuff by Ashtekar, Corichi and Krasnov: gr-qc/9905089 Isolated Horizons: the Classical Phase Space Adv.
Yes, I should've mentioned it earlier: it's a mailing list where you can find out where the general relativity conferences are, where the postdoctoral positions are, what the latest books are, and so on.
Recent preprints include: Abhay Ashtekar and AlejandroCorichi, Photon inner-product and the Gauss linking number.
I didn't mention the paper by Ashtekar and Corichi.
This bibliography attempts to give a comprehensive overview of all the literature related to what is known as the Ashtekar-Sen connection and the Rovelli-Smolin loop variables, from which the program currently known as Loop Quantum Gravity emerged.
The original version was compiled by Peter Huebner in 1989, and it has been subsequently updated by Gabriela Gonzalez, Bernd Bruegmann, Monica Pierri, Troy Schilling, Christopher Beetle, AlejandroCorichi and Alberto Hauser.
The criteria for inclusion in this list are the following: A paper in the classical theory is included if it deals with connection variables for gravity.
