Abstract
We study in this paper a series of Gutzwiller projected wave functions for S=1 spin chains obtained from a fermionic mean-field theory for general S>1/2 spin systems [ Liu, Zhou and Ng Phys. Rev. B 81 224417 (2010)] applied to the bilinear-biquadratic (J-K) model. The free-fermion mean-field states before the projection are 1D paring states. By comparing the energies and correlation functions of the projected pairing states with those obtained from known results, we show that the optimized Gutzwiller projected wave functions are very good trial ground-state wave functions for the antiferromagnetic bilinear-biquadratic model in the regime K
