We show that the existence of string order in a given quantum state is intimately related to the presence of a local symmetry by proving that both concepts are equivalent within the framework of finitely correlated states. Once this connection is established, we provide a complete characterization of local symmetries in these states. The results allow to understand in a straightforward way many of the properties of string order parameters, like their robustness/fragility under perturbations and their typical disappearance beyond strictly one-dimensional lattices. We propose and discuss an alternative definition, ideally suited for detecting phase transitions, and generalizations to two and more spatial dimensions.

    Assuming unique gapped ground states on finite open chains with boundary fields, the infinite S=1 AF Heisenberg chain is proven to have a nontrivial SPT topological index.

    Modulated SPT phases in 1D are classified by H²(G, U(1)_s) and obey LSM-type theorems forbidding symmetric short-range entangled ground states.
