Black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity

After briefly introducing the main ingredients of the loop quantum gravity approach, I show how it can applied to the calculation of black hole entropy. I review some well known results and introduce a new description of the horizon degrees of freedom in terms of a CFT/gravity correspondence. I show how the latter provides a unifying framework that allows us to recover the semiclassical Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula.
