Abstract
We summarize recent results concerning the quantization of the complete extension of the Schwarzschild space-time using spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. We find an exact solution of the polymerized theory, that is expected to capture features of the semi-classical limit. The singularity is eliminated but the space-time still contains a horizon. Although the solution is known partially numerically and therefore a proper global analysis is not possible, a global structure akin to a singularity-free Reissner-Nordström space-time including a Cauchy horizon is suggested. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
