A few tidbits: the model is spin s=1. The s=1 spins in the chain are modelled as the symmetric subspace of 2 spin 1/2 particles, i.e., the space spanned by ^^, vv, and ^v+v^, in an obvious notation.

Trying to understand the ground state of the AKLT model, and having trouble parsing the paper. Here's how it's described in the famous AKLT paper, and the corresponding Hamiltonian:pic.twitter.com/wv9iEBF1k5

It seems that we should think of the bonds between dots in the image as being like spin 1/2 singlets, ^v-v^. So this wld be s'thing like: *(^v-v^)(^v-v^)*, where the two * states are to be specified. But I don't see how to choose the *s so these are in the right sym. subspacespic.twitter.com/TJQXWnai06

Anyone understand the ground state of AKLT / what I'm missing?
