• Abstract: We study bipartite entanglement statistics in one-dimensional anyon chains, whose Hilbert spaces are constrained by fusion rules of unitary pre-modular categories. Our setup generalizes previous frameworks on symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for non-abelian Lie group symmetries to the setting of quantum groups. We derive analytical expressions for the average anyonic entanglement entropy and its variance. Surprisingly, despite the constrained Hilbert space structure, the large $L$ expansion has no universal $O(\sqrt{L})$ or $O(1)$ symmetry-type corrections except for a subleading topological correction term that produces a Page curve asymmetry. We further show that the variance decays exponentially with system size, establishing the typicality. Numerical simulations of the integrable and quantum-chaotic golden chain Hamiltonian show that chaotic mid-spectrum eigenstates match the Haar-random predictions, supporting the use of eigenstate entanglement as a diagnostic of quantum chaos. Our results establish the anyonic Page curve as an appropriate chaotic benchmark in topological many-body systems and connect anyonic entanglement to Page-type universality in quantum many-body physics.

  We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems. The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension. While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.
