Chowla's conjecture for polynomial values

Let fZ[x1,,xh]f\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_h] be a primitive squarefree polynomial, let A\mathcal{A} be an arithmetic progression, and let A(X)\mathcal{A}(X) denote its points of norm at most XX. For a nonzero integer n=ppνp(n)n=\prod_p p^{\nu_p(n)}, define Liouville's function by λ(n)=(1)pνp(n)\lambda(n)=(-1)^{\sum_p\nu_p(n)}. Chowla's conjecture. For every arithmetic progression A\mathcal{A},

vA(X)λ(f(v))=o(X2).\sum_{{\rm v}\in\mathcal{A}(X)}\lambda(f({\rm v}))=o(X^2).

The conjecture predicts cancellation in the Liouville values of a polynomial along arithmetic progressions. The source gives no resolution and introduces it as a separate conjectural input.
