Chubukov’s proposal concerning the possibility of a nondimerized quantum nematic phase in the ground-state phase diagram of the bilinear-biquadratic spin-1 chain is studied numerically. Our results do not support the existence of this phase, but instead they indicate a direct transition from the ferromagnetic into the dimerized phase.
