Abstract: We consider the weakly asymmetric exclusion process with N=L/2 particles on a periodic lattice of L sites, and hopping rates 1 and q=1mu/sqrtL respectively in the forward and in the backward direction. Using Bethe ansatz, we obtain a systematic perturbative expansion of the spectral gap near mu=0 by solving order by order a simple functional equation. A key point is that when muo0, Bethe roots at a distance 1/sqrtL from the edge of the Fermi sea should not be considered as a continuum, but converge instead at large L to the complex zeroes of 1+mathrmerf(x) after a rescaling by sqrtL.
