Of the twenty candidates, indicate the ones you think will prove most significant for future QG research. Since the poll is multiple choice, it's possible to vote for several papers. Abstracts follow in the next post. I've included two non-QG-related Dark Matter papers at the end because of the special interest in that topic.
http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.7482
Deformed Spinor Networks for Loop Gravity: Towards Hyperbolic Twisted Geometries
Maité Dupuis, Florian Girelli, Etera R. Livine
(putting a non-zero cosmological constant into spinor-network terms)
http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.6396
Viability of the matter bounce scenario in Loop Quantum Cosmology from BICEP2 last data
Jaume de Haro, Jaume Amorós
(self-explanatory)
http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3190
A curvature operator for LQG
Emanuele Alesci, Mehdi Assanioussi, Jerzy Lewandowski

http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/95/24/98/PDF/diss.pdf
The Chiral Structure of Loop Quantum Gravity
Wolfgang Wieland
(appropriate treatment of time and Hamiltonian in 4d spin foam, recovering EPRL amplitudes)

http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.6708
A one-dimensional action for simplicial gravity in three dimensions
Wolfgang M. Wieland
(consistency check of spinorial LQG in 3d, recovers Ponzano-Regge amplitudes.)
http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.6613
Numerical simulations of a loop quantum cosmos: robustness of the quantum bounce
Peter Diener, Brajesh Gupt, Parampreet Singh
