Abstract
In this paper, we compute the emptiness formation probability of a (twisted-) periodic XXZ spin chain of finite length at , thus proving the formulas conjectured by Razumov and Stroganov (2001 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 3185 and 5335–40). The result is obtained by exploiting the fact that the ground state of the inhomogeneous XXZ spin chain at satisfies a set of qKZ equations associated with .
