Understand

Loop Gravity provides a microscopic derivation of Black Hole entropy.

In this paper, I show that the microstates counted admit a semiclassical description in terms of shapes of a tessellated horizon.
The counting of microstates and the computation of the entropy can be done via a mapping to an equivalent statistical mechanical problem: the counting of conformations of a closed polymer chain.
This correspondence suggests a number of intriguing relations between the thermodynamics of Black Holes and the physics of polymers.
