Factorized finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements from Separation of Variables

Using the Sklyanin-Kharchev-Lebedev method of Separation of Variables adapted to the cyclic Baxter--Bazhanov--Stroganov or $τ^{(2)}$-model, we derive factorized formulae for general finite-size Ising model spin matrix elements, proving a recent conjecture by Bugrij and Lisovyy.
