Weak Mertens conjecture

Let μ(n)\mu(n) be the Möbius function and define the Mertens function by

M(x)=nxμ(n).M(x)=\sum_{n\le x}\mu(n).

Weak Mertens conjecture.

1T(M(x)x)2dxlogT.\int_1^T\left(\frac{M(x)}{x}\right)^2\,dx\ll\log T.

The source states that this conjecture implies the Riemann Hypothesis, simplicity of all zeta zeros, and a bound involving ζ(ρ)\zeta'(\rho). It is described as generally believed but is not resolved in the supplied text.
