I've read the recent Polish papers
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0407051
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/http://www.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0407052
that try to claim that all previous calculations of the black hole entropy
in loop quantum gravity - despite the claims that they were independent -
had the same error in them. They explain that it is not true that the
entropy is dominated by the punctures of the smallest minimal spin. Their
resulting entropy therefore does not contain anything such as log(2) or
log(3) but rather log of a transcendent number in between.
Do you have some comments about it? I am still not quite decided whether
the new papers are correct, at least in some sense.
Best
Lubos
