Abstract: We 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 R'enyi entropies. We discover that the R'enyi entropy is independent of the parameter alpha in the limit of large block sizes and its value 2logn 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.
