We review the construction of the tensorial structure of the graviton propagator in the context of loop quantum gravity and spinfoam formalism. The main result of this analysis is that applying the same strategy used to compute the diagonal terms, the Barrett-Crane vertex is unable to yield the correct propagator in the long distance limit. The problem is in the intertwiner-independence of the Barrett-Crane vertex. We also review the asymptotic behavior of an alternative vertex that is able to give the correct propagator.

We present a bird's-eye survey on the development of fundamental ideas of quantum gravity, placing emphasis on perturbative approaches, string theory, loop quantum gravity (LQG) and black hole thermodynamics. The early ideas at the dawn of quantum gravity as well as the possible observations of quantum gravitational effects in the foreseeable future are also briefly discussed.

We calculate modifications to the Schwarzschild solution by using a semiclassical analysis of loop quantum black hole. We obtain a metric inside the event horizon that coincides with the Schwarzschild solution near the horizon but that is substantially different at the Planck scale. In particular, we obtain a bounce of theS2sphere for a minimum value of the radius and that it is possible to have another event horizon close to ther=0point.
