8. Additionally, one can also deform the system by describing it on curved geometries where the curvature induces a gap, and then, study the approach to the flat limit in the same way one would study the approach to an infinite system.

23. Eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue with the largest magnitude.
24. Note that in contrast to the rest of the paper where the energy always denotes an energy density (i.e., intensive energy measure), in this case, the gap is an extensive quantity since it refers to the difference between the ground-state energy and the first excited state of the entire system.

33. E 0 final (N) is the energy of the MPS obtained as the ground state by our conjugate gradient search for the finite chain with N sites and PBC. E 0 initial (N) is the energy obtained by plugging the MPS resulting from imaginary time evolution of the infinite chain into the finite size geometry with PBC. As mentioned in the main text, this MPS is used as the starting point of the conjugate gradient search.
