Best-first search trees
Open, with no bound of any kind proved for the best-first algorithm on any class of query distributions. Exact optimality is already refuted by the paper’s own exhaustive search, so only the approximation ratio remains, and a workload on which greedy is off by an unbounded factor would settle it. 5 open

Level-optimal beyond disjunctions
Open beyond disjunctive queries, and the authors state it as a conjecture without naming the broader class – identifying one is part of the problem. Proved for every distribution supported on disjunctions, where the log n factor is also shown necessary. Wide open for conjunctive queries, where the paper’s proof technique demonstrably fails. 5 open
