  A framework conceptually based on the conformal techniques employed to study
the structure of the gravitational field at infinity is set up in the context
of loop quantum gravity to describe asymptotically anti-de Sitter quantum
spacetimes. A conformal compactification of the spatial slice is performed,
which, in terms of the rescaled metric, has now finite volume, and can thus be
conveniently described by spin networks states. The conformal factor used is a
physical scalar field, which has the necessary asymptotics for many
asymptotically AdS black hole solutions.
