At tree level the three point function can be computed using gaussian contraction
h ¯ Z(x)Z(y)i ⇠ 1 |x y|2 h ¯ X(x)X(y)i ⇠ 1 |x y|2
Spin chain language: the combinatorics can be expressed in terms of scalar products of states
use Algebraic Bethe Ansatz (ABA) to build and cut the chains into pieces “tailoring” of spin chains
In some special cases, at weak coupling, the correlators allow determinant representations [Foda,
11] whose semiclassical limit is rather straightforward [ESV, 11; Kostov,12; Kostov, Bettelheim, 14] log C123(g) ' I

general structure in agreement with the strong coupling result [Kazama, Komatsu, (Nishimura),
13 & 16]
Generically, the three point function can be written as sum-over-partitions expressions coming from tailoring or from the recent proposal by [Basso, Komatsu, Vieira, 15] Resuming the sum over partitions for large numbers of magnons and taking the semiclassical limit is a major open problem for the three point function
[Basso, Komatsu, Vieira, 15]
the asymptotic part of the three point function can be written as a sum over partitions for the three groups of rapidities
