dc.descriptionWe investigate entanglement properties in the ground state of the open/periodic SU($n$) generalized valence-bond-solid state consisting of representations of SU($n$). We obtain exact expression for the reduced density matrix of a block of contiguous spins and explicitly evaluate the von Neumann and the Rényi entropies. We discover that the Rényi entropy is independent of the parameter $α$ in the limit of large block sizes and its value $2 \log n$ coincides with that of von Neumann entropy. We also find the direct relation between the reduced density matrix of the subsystem and edge states for the corresponding open boundary system.
