The conjectured lower bound for Riesz means of the Möbius function

Let Mτ(x)M_\tau(x) be the Riesz mean

Mτ(x):=1Γ(τ+1)nxμ(n)(1nx)τ,M_\tau(x):=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\tau+1)}\sum_{n\leq x}\mu(n)\left(1-\frac{n}{x}\right)^\tau,

where μ\mu is the Möbius function. Let ρ\rho be any non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta-function, with multiplicity m(ρ)m(\rho), and let τ=τ(x)\tau=\tau(x) be any monotone positive-valued function. The conjecture.

Mτ(x)=Ω(x1/2(logx)m(ρ)1(τ/e)τ1).M_\tau(x)=\Omega\left(x^{1/2}(\log x)^{m(\rho)-1}(\tau/e)^{-\tau-1}\right).

The authors motivate this by expecting the contribution from a multiple zeta zero to dominate the behavior of Mτ(x)M_\tau(x), but the source gives no resolution evidence.
