contents We consider mixing times for the open asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) at the triple point. We show that the mixing time of the open ASEP on a segment of length $N$ for bias parameter $q$ is of order $N^{3/2+κ}$ if $1-q \asymp N^{-κ}$ for some $κ\in [0,\frac{1}{2})$, and the same result with poly-logarithmic corrections for $κ=\frac{1}{2}$. Our proof combines a fine analysis of the current of the open ASEP, moderate deviations of second class particles, the censoring inequality, and various couplings and multi-species extensions of the ASEP. Moreover, we establish a comparison between moderate deviations for the current of the open ASEP and the ASEP on the integers, as well as bounds on mixing times for the open ASEP in the weakly high density phase, which are of independent interest.
