This is an informal review of the formulation of canonical general relativity and of its implications for quantum gravity; the various versions are compared, both in the continuum and in a discretized approximation suggested by Regge calculus. I also show that the weakness of the link with the geometric content of the theory gives rise to what I think is a serious flaw in the claimed derivation of a discrete structure for space at the quantum level.

Absorption spectrum and greybody factors of charged black holes in loop quantum gravity
The absorption cross section of massless scalar waves by a charged loop-quantum-gravity black hole increases with the quantum parameter in an intermediate frequency band, decreases with charge, and matches classical a...

The Cosmological Constant from a Quantum Gravitational $\theta$-Vacua and the Gravitational Hall Effect
The cosmological constant is related to the topological theta angle by theta = 12 pi^2 / (Lambda l_Pl^2), suggesting Lambda is topologically protected.

Periodic orbits as probes of charged loop quantum gravity black holes through gravitational waves
Periodic orbits in charged LQG black holes produce zoom-whirl gravitational waveforms detectable by future space-based observatories, with features depending on the fixed polymerization parameter.

$\tilde\xi$-attractors in metric-affine gravity
A new class of metric-affine inflationary models, the ξ-tilde-attractors, reproduces Starobinsky inflation as a universal attractor in two strong-coupling limits.

Horizon-scale tests of gravity theories and fundamental physics from the Event Horizon Telescope image of Sagittarius A$^*$
EHT observations of Sgr A* constrain deviations from GR black hole solutions including regular BHs, string-inspired spacetimes, and BH mimickers, with some limits exceeding cosmological bounds.
