On the black hole singularity issue in loop quantum gravityThis paper was presented at the Theory CANADA 4 conference, held at Centre de recherches mathématiques, Montréal, Québec, Canada on 4–7 June 2008.

Abstract

This paper presents a brief overview on the issue of singularity resolution in loop quantum gravity presented at the Theory CANADA IV conference at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques at the Université de Montréal. The intended audience is theoretical physicists who are non-specialist in the field, and therefore much of the technical detail is omitted here. Instead, a brief review of loop quantum gravity is presented followed by a survey of previous and current work on results concerning the resolution of the classical black hole singularity within loop quantum gravity.
