Abstract
Symmetry protected states (SPT's) of quantum spin systems were studied by several authors. For one-dimensional systems (spin chains), there is an essentially complete and rigorous understanding: SPT's corresponding to finite on-site symmetry groups are classified by the second cohomology group , as established by Kapustin et al. [J. Math. Phys. (2021)]. We extend this result to the case of compact topological symmetry groups . We also strengthen the existing results in the sense that our classification results holds within the class of spin chains with locally bounded on-site dimensions.
