Renormalization and black hole entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
Microscopic state counting for a black hole in Loop Quantum Gravity yields a result proportional to horizon area, and inversely proportional to Newton's constant and the Immirzi parameter. It is argued here that before this result can be compared to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a macroscopic black hole, the scale dependence of both Newton's constant and the area must be accounted for. The two entropies could then agree for any value of the Immirzi parameter, if a certain renormalization property holds.

Spinfoams, $\gamma$-duality and parity violation in primordial gravitational waves
γ-duality in the EPRL spinfoam model determines the relation between parity-even and parity-odd terms in an effective gravity theory, allowing the Barbero-Immirzi parameter to be measured from inflationary tensor observables.
