X Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a general method to construct one-dimensional translationally invariant valence bond solid states with a built-in Lie group $G$ and derive their matrix product representations. The general strategy to find their parent Hamiltonians is provided so that the valence bond solid states are their unique ground states. For quantum integer spin-$S $ chains, we discuss two topologically distinct classes of valence bond solid states: One is formed by two virtue SU(2) spin-$J$ variables in each site and another is by using two $SO(2S+1)$ spinors. Among them, a new spin-$% 1$ fermionic valence bond solid state, its parent Hamiltonian, and its properties are discussed. Moreover, two types of the valence bond solid states with SO(5) symmetry are further generalized and their respective properties are analyzed in detail.
