RS Proximity Gaps to Capacity
Proved up to the Johnson/Guruswami-Sudan bound delta < 1 - sqrt(rho); conjectured up to capacity delta <= 1 - rho - eta. The source records that nothing known contradicts c1 = c2 = 2, and that in characteristic greater than the degree nothing known contradicts c1 = c2 = 1 – while those smaller exponents are provably ruled out in characteristic two. 5 open

RM Gap to Capacity for BEC
Conjecture 14 of the source. That Reed-Muller codes achieve capacity for the BEC is a theorem of Kudekar et al.; the gap to capacity – a polynomial rate of convergence – is open. The source needs it to strengthen its refutation of the expansion-implies-hardness conjecture for noisy k-XOR from quasi-polynomially many constraints to polynomially many, and notes the question was raised explicitly in three prior works. 4 open
