Summary
This chapter discusses the properties of matrix product state (MPS). It starts with a simple proof that the wave function generated by DMRG is an MPS. Then three different but equivalent canonical forms or representations of MPS are introduced. An MPS generally has redundant gauge degrees of freedom on each bond linking two neighboring local tensors. One can convert it into a canonical form by taking a canonical transformation to remove the gauge redundancy in the local tensors. Finally, the implementation of symmetries, including both the U(1) and SU(2) symmetries, is discussed.
