Abstract
In this talk, I will present an effective horizon-boundary-sector framework for rotating black holes within dynamical Chern-Simons gravity. We demonstrate that black hole spin activates the parity-violating Pontryagin density, generating a scalar dipole and a frame-dragging correction in the slow-rotation regime. Using the Iyer-Wald formalism, we show that the scalar-Pontryagin interaction induces a parity-odd normal-bundle curvature charge on the Kerr horizon. By adopting an appropriate horizon tetrad and internal time gauge, we project the boundary current to a real compact sector, which we model as an effective (SU(2)k) Chern-Simons theory with a classical matching level (k{\mathrm{eff}}^{\mathrm{cl}} = 4\pi \gamma_H(\alpha/G)\xi_H J/(Mr_+)). While Wilson loops and Jones polynomials serve as bounded diagnostics to impose defect-sector constraints, the physical entropy reduction is rigorously defined via a conformal-block projector (\Gamma_K^{\mathrm{phys}} \leq 1). Finally, I will illustrate the phenomenological implications of this framework by providing EFT-domain response maps for primordial defect capture, evaporation-envelope sensitivity, frame dragging, and the chiral phase splitting in Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs).
