Refined conjecture for the half-weighted Liouville sum

Let λ(n)\lambda(n) be the Liouville function and define

L1/2(x)=nxλ(n)n.L_{1/2}(x)=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{\lambda(n)}{\sqrt n}.

Refined half-weight conjecture. As xx tends to infinity,

L1/2(x)logx2ζ(1/2).L_{1/2}(x)\sim\frac{\log x}{2\zeta(1/2)}.

This refines the preceding conjecture about eventual nonpositivity of L1/2(x)L_{1/2}(x) and is motivated in the source by a heuristic for the order of the fluctuation around the displayed main term.
