Generalization of the Haldane conjecture to SU(n) chains

Recently, SU(3) chains in the symmetric and self-conjugate representations have been studied using field theory techniques. For certain representations, namely rank-p symmetric ones with p not a multiple of 3, it was argued that the ground state exhibits gapless excitations. For the remaining repres...
