We have considered here the emergence of diffeomorphism symmetry in quantum gravity in the framework of the quantization of a fermion. It is pointed out that a closed loop having the holonomy associated with the SU(2) gauge group is realized from the rotation of the direction vector associated with the quantization of a fermion depicting spin degrees of freedom which appear as SU(2) gauge bundle. During the formation of a loop, a noncyclic path with open ends can be mapped onto a closed loop when the holonomy involves q-deformed gauge group SUq(2). This gives rise to q-deformed diffeomorphism and helps to realize diffeomorphism invariance in quantum gravity through a sequence of q-deformed diffeomorphism in the limit q = 1. We can consider adiabatic iteration such that the quasispin associated with the quantum group SUq(2) gradually evolves as the time dependent deformation parameter q changes and in the limit q = 1, we achieve the standard spin. This essentially depicts the evolution of spin network as the loop is being formed and links fermionic degrees of freedom with loop quantum gravity.

We show that holography follows directly from the basic structure of spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. The result is not dependent on detailed assumptions about the dynamics of the theory being considered. It ties strongly the amount of information contained in a region of space to the tight mathematical underpinnings of loop quantum geometry.

We continue our investigation of an improved quantization scheme for spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. We find that in the region where the black hole singularity appears in the classical theory, the quantum theory contains semi-classical states that approximate general relativity coupled to an effective anisotropic fluid. The singularity is eliminated and the space-time can be continued into a white hole space-time. This is similar to previously considered scenarios based on a loop quantum gravity quantization.

In this paper, we consider a semiclassical description of the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse with a massless scalar field. In particular, we employ an effective scenario provided by holonomy corrections from loop quantum gravity (LQG), to the homogeneous interior spacetime. The singularity that would arise at the final stage of the corresponding classical collapse, is resolved in this context and is replaced by a bounce. Our main purpose is to investigate the evolution of trapped surfaces during this semiclassical collapse. Within this setting, we obtain a threshold radius for the collapsing shells in order to have horizons formation. In addition, we study the final state of the collapse by employing a suitable matching at the boundary shell from which quantum gravity effects are carried to the exterior geometry.
