Spherically Symmetric Quantum Geometry — •Martin Bojowald — Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Albert-Einstein-Institut, Am Mühlenberg 1, 14476 Potsdam

Loop Quantum Gravity provides a framework for quantum geometry which can be probed by studying symmetric configurations in the theory. Properties of quantum black holes can be understood by employing spherical symmetry which will be reviewed here. This leads to non-trivial tests of the full theory, as well as several physical applications to be discussed in more detail in the talk by Rafal Swiderski.
