Lubos Motl (at Harvard's Jefferson Phys. Lab.)
this paper is pure gold for what it does on the side
quite apart from what you might expect from the title,
which sounds narrowly focused on a specialized technical issue.
what Motl gives on the side is a *critical* overview of LQG
that cuts thru the underbrush and distinguishes a short list of impressive results---you could say one impressive result
Motl recognizes the landmark importance of Olaf Dreyer's
2002 paper, which seems to have put LQG on a new footing.
Dreyer's paper is less than 4 pages long and has
potentially far-reaching effects on quantum gravity, which
Motl provides perspective on. Here's Dreyer's 4 page paper:
