Abstract
Infinite projected entangled pair states simulations of the $S=1$ bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the square lattice reveal an emergent Haldane phase in between the previously predicted antiferromagnetic and 3-sublattice 120$^\circ$ magnetically ordered phases. This intermediate phase preserves SU(2) spin and translational symmetry but breaks lattice rotational symmetry, and it can be adiabatically connected to the Haldane phase of decoupled $S=1$ chains. Our results contradict previous studies which found a direct transition between the two magnetically ordered states.
