Description
We review recent results that indicate that black hole entropy and other
thermodynamical quantities can be consistently computed in LQG and that
the results are in agreement with Hawking's semiclassical analysis for
all values of the Immirzi parameter. This new results are based on the
identification of a physical notion of energy for local observers close
to the black hole horizon and the proper treatment of the number of
punctures as a non trivial observable in the Chern-Simons description of
the quantum horizon degrees of freedom.
