We use extensive DMRG calculations to show that a classification of SU(n) spin chains with regard to the existence of spinon confinement and hence a Haldane gap obtained previously for valence bond solid models applies to SU(n) Heisenberg chains as well. In particular, we observe spinon confinement due to a next-nearest neighbor interaction in the SU(4) representation 10 spin chain.

It was proposed in [(https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.145301){Chen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. $mathbf{114}$, 145301 (2015)}] that spin-2 chains display an extended critical phase with enhanced SU$(3)$ symmetry. This hypothesis is highly unexpect
ed for a spin-2 system and, as we argue, would imply an unconventional mechanism for symmetry emergence. Yet, the absence of convenient critical points for renormalization group perturbative expansions, allied with the usual difficulty in the convergence of numerical methods in critical or small-gapped phases, renders the verification of this hypothetical SU$(3)$-symmetric phase a non-trivial matter. By tracing parallels with the well-understood phase diagram of spin-1 chains and searching for signatures robust against finite-size effects, we draw criticism on the existence of this phase. We perform non-Abelian density matrix renormalization group studies of multipolar static correlation function, energy spectrum scaling, single-mode approximation, and entanglement spectrum to shed light on the problem. We determine that the hypothetical SU$(3)$ spin-2 phase is, in fact, dominated by ferro-octupolar correlations and also observe a lack of Luttinger-liquid-like behavior in correlation functions that suggests that is perhaps not critical. We further construct an infinite family of spin-$S$ systems with similar ferro-octupolar-dominated quasi-SU$(3)$-like phenomenology; curiously, we note that the spin-3 version of the problem is located in a subspace of exact G$_2$ symmetry, making this a point of interest for search of Fibonacci topological properties in magnetic systems.
Using large-scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations in combination with the stochastic analytical continuation, we study two-particle dynamical correlation functions in the anisotropic square lattice of weakly coupled one-dimensional (1D) H
ubbard chains at half-filling and in the presence of weak frustration. The evolution of the static spin structure factor upon increasing the interchain coupling is suggestive of the transition from the power-law decay of spin-spin correlations in the 1D limit to long-range antiferromagnetic order in the quasi-1D regime and at $T=0$. In the numerically accessible regime of interchain couplings, the charge sector remains gapped. The low-energy momentum dependence of the spin excitations is well described by the linear spin-wave theory with the largest intensity located around the antiferromagnetic wave vector. This magnon mode corresponds to a bound state of two spinons. At higher energies the spinons deconfine and we observe signatures of the two-spinon continuum which progressively fade away as a function of interchain hopping.
We explain how spinons and magnons naturally arise in $mathrm{SU}(2)$ invariant spin chains when describing ground states and elementary excitations using MPS. Within this description, spinons can emerge in a spin-1 chain at a first-order transition
between a symmetry-protected topological phase and a trivial phase. We provide MPS simulations for the spinon dispersion relations in a frustrated and dimerized spin-1 chain, and show that these spinons determine the low-lying spectrum in the vicinity of this transition by the formation of spinon/anti-spinon bound states.
We calculate the excitation spectrum and spectral weights of the alternating antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic spin-half Heisenberg chain with exchange couplings $J$ and $-|lambda|J$ as a power series in $lambda$. For small $|lambda|$, the gapped one-p
article spectrum has a maximum at $k=0$ and there is a rich structure of bound (and anti-bound) states below (and above) the 2-particle continuum. As $|lambda|$ is increased past unity the spectrum crosses over to the Haldane regime, where the peak shifts away from $k=0$, the one particle states merge with the bottom of the continuum near $k=0$, and the spectral weights associated with the one-particle states become very small. Extrapolation of the spectrum to large $|lambda|$ confirms that the ground state energy and excitation gap map onto those of the spin-one chain.
The DMRG method is applied to integrable models of antiferromagnetic spin chains for fundamental and higher representations of SU(2), SU(3), and SU(4). From the low energy spectrum and the entanglement entropy, we compute the central charge and the
primary field scaling dimensions. These parameters allow us to identify uniquely the Wess-Zumino-Witten models capturing the low energy sectors of the models we consider.
