We investigate the ground state phase diagram of an antiferromagnetic, SU(N)-symmetric spin model on a square lattice, where the chosen irreducible representation of the su(N) algebra is described by a square Young tableaux with N/2 rows and 2S columns. Using approximation-free fermionic quantum Monte Carlo simulations for S ∈ {1/2, 1, 3/2} and even values of N in the range N ∈ [2, 20], we present a phase diagram for this model. Our results are in line with the seminal work of Read and Sachdev. For any value S, we find Néel order at small values of N, and disordered valence-bond solid (VBS) states at large N. The degeneracy of the VBS state, 4 for S=1/2 and 3/2 and 2 for S=1, close to the Néel state follows the lower bound obtained by analyzing monopole singularities in the large-S limit. In contrast in the large-N limit, the VBS ground state shows a four fold degeneracy for all values of S. In order to best image the dimerization patterns, so as to confirm the above, we use a pinning field approach.
