Abstract
The ground state(s) of a Hamiltonian, introduced by Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb and Tasaki, in connection with the Valence-Bond-Solid (VBS) states, are explicitly given for the spin-1 chains. The structure of these ground states is a rather simple one. For a closed chain we find a unique ground state; for the open chain we find a fourfold-degenerate ground state. The ground state correlation function for the ring is calculated.
