• Abstract: We derive closed-form asymptotic formulas for the Rényi entanglement entropies of the open XX spin-$1/2$ chain by mapping the underlying determinant of the boundary correlation matrix (which has Toeplitz-plus-Hankel structure) to a Hankel determinant with a positive weight whose large-size asymptotics follow from known Riemann--Hilbert results. An explicit evaluation of the Szegő function yields the leading $2k_F$ oscillatory amplitude and phase. A single variable $s = 2\ell \sin(k_F/2)$ organizes the hard-edge crossover as the Fermi momentum approaches the band edge: the oscillation envelope obeys $s^{\pm1/α}$ power laws and $\ln s$ is the natural leading logarithm for a clean data collapse. For detached blocks the oscillatory amplitude is numerically consistent with a factorization through the conformal cross-ratio. The same framework recovers the open-boundary-condition (OBC) equipartition offset $-\tfrac{1}{2}\log\log\ell$ for symmetry-resolved entropies, together with the known halving of the Gaussian width relative to the periodic chain.

We find a tunable transition between two localized phases that can be continuous or strongly first-order. We also find scaling behavior at the symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, for which the inverse correlation-length exponent is given by the bath exponent.
