Reading Topological Hair from Black-Hole Entanglement

RESUMO

Black-hole hair can affect boundary mixed-state entanglement through local stress-energy and through topological information invisible to the classical metric. We separate these channels for a Nielsen--Olesen vortex on a nonrotating BTZ black hole. A superselection theorem shows that Shannon sector entropy cancels from the Markov gap, while standard $U(1)$ symmetry-resolved reflected entropy in a thermal $U(1)_k$ CFT is equipartitioned at leading order, excluding a universal $\log|n|$ term in the imbalance-resolved gap. We therefore define a Wilson-threaded reflected moment in a probe $U(1)_k$ Chern--Simons completion coupled to the compact vortex-flux class. In a reflected-replica sector with linking number $\nu$, its normalised phase is $2\pi\kappa pn\nu/k$, where $\kappa\in\mathbb Z$ is the mixed topological coupling; for $\gcd(\kappa\nu,k)=1$, a discrete Fourier transform reconstructs $n\bmod k$. The RT connectivity transition switches the specified linked contour on or off, whereas the independent scale $\ell_\star r_+/L^2=1.128378\ldots$ determines the direction of the vortex-induced shift of that transition. The charged-moment modulus and the ordinary Markov gap remain geometric observables and are computed from a horizon-anchored Einstein-Abelian-Higgs solution with a complete first-variation kernel including the motion of the entanglement-wedge cross-section endpoints. This phase and modulus separation distinguishes topological hair from gravitational dressing without assigning an unsupported winding-dependent entropy.
