abstract
A continuum limit treatment of planar spin chains with arbitrary S is presented. The difference between integer and half-integer spins is emphasised. While isotropic half-integer spin chains are gapless,and have power-law decay of correlations at T = 0 with exponent eta = 1, integer spin systems have a singlet ground state with a gap for S=1 excitations and exponential decay of correlations. The easy-plane to easy-axis transition is described. Note: this is a verbatim transcription of ILL preprint SP-81/95, which is cited in a number of places, but was rejected for publication in 1981, and remained unpublished in this original form, which gives somewhat different arguments for the central result as compared to the later paper finally published in Phys. Lett. 93A, 464 (1983); many thanks to Jeno Solyom for preserving this historical document.

Hopf terms govern phases in 2D metals near fluctuating magnetic and spin loop-current orders, realizing an SU(2)-protected topological phase with gapped bulk, chiral edges, and quantized spin-Hall conductance.
A quantum channel applied near the entanglement cut maps the reduced density matrix of trivial gSPT states to non-trivial ones, thereby predicting their boundary CFT entanglement spectra.
