Description
Black holes in equilibrium and the counting of their entropy within Loop Quantum Gravity are reviewed. In particular, we focus on the conceptual setting of the formalism, briefly summarizing the main results of the past 12 years. We then focus in recent results for small, Planck scale, black holes, where new structures have been shown to arise. This contribution is based on the invited talk given at the 6th International Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology (ICGC-07) December 17-21, 2007, IUCAA, Pune, India.
