Sažetak:

Loop quantum gravity is becoming a promising theory of quantum
gravity that seems to reconcile concepts of quantum mechanics with those
of general relativity. In this talk I will briefly review the loop
quantum gravity program and discuss how to construct the phase-space
relevant for isolated black hole horizons. Special emphasis will be paid
to horizons with exotic topology (toroidal). By counting the number of
quantum states which correspond to a surface with classical area $A$,
the entropy of the black hole is calculated and the $A/4$ law is recovered.
