## Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the emptiness formation probability $\\tau\\pa{m}$ of the open XXZ chain. We derive a closed form for $\\tau\\pa{m}$ at $\\Delta=\\tf{1}{2}$ when the boundary field vanishes. Moreover we obtain its leading asymptotics for an arbitrary boundary field at the free fermion point. Finally, we compute the first term of the asymptotics of $\\ln\\pa{\\tau\\pa{m}}$ in the whole massless regime $-1\<\\Delta\<1$.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
