Charged Moments in $W_{3}$ Higher Spin Holography

Abstract

We consider the charged moments in $S L (3, R)$ higher spin holography, as well as in the dual two-dimensional conformal field theory with $W_{3}$ symmetry. For the vacuum state and a single entangling interval, we show that the $W_{3}$ algebra of the conformal field theory induces an entanglement $W_{3}$ algebra acting on the quantum state in the entangling interval. The algebra contains a spin 3 modular charge which commutes with the modular Hamiltonian. The reduced density matrix is characterized by the modular energy and modular charge, hence our definition of the charged moments is also with respect to these conserved quantities. We evaluate the logarithm of the charged moments perturbatively in the spin 3 modular chemical potential, by computing the corresponding connected correlation functions of the modular charge operator up to quartic order in the chemical potential. This method provides access to the charged moments without using charged twist fields. Our result matches known results for the charged moment obtained from the charged topological black hole picture in $S L (3, R)$ higher spin gravity. Since our charged moments are not Gaussian in the chemical potential any longer, we conclude that the dual $W_{3}$ conformal field theories must feature breakdown of equipartition of entanglement to leading order in the large $c$ expansion.
