RT Journal Article T1 A canonical form for Projected Entangled Pair States and applications A1 Sanz, Mikel A1 Pérez García, David A1 Cirac, Juan I. A1 Wolf, Michael A1 González Guillén, Carlos Eduardo AB We show that two different tensors defining the same translational invariant injective Projected Entangled Pair State (PEPS) in a square lattice must be the same up to a trivial gauge freedom. This allows us to characterize the existence of any local or spatial symmetry in the state. As an application of these results we prove that a SU(2) invariant PEPS with half-integer spin cannot be injective, which can be seen as a Lieb-Shultz-Mattis theorem in this context. We also give the natural generalization for U(1) symmetry in the spirit of Oshikawa-Yamanaka-Affleck, and show that a PEPS with Wilson loops cannot be injective.
