Aymone's conjecture for sums over kk-free integers

About 2 years old · traced to

Let k≥2k\geq 2 be an integer, let μ(k)\mu^{(k)} denote the indicator function of the kk-free integers, and let h:N→{−1,1}h:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\} be multiplicative. Aymone's conjecture. For every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

∑n≤xμ(k)(n)h(n)=Ω(x1/(2k)−ε).\sum_{n\leq x}\mu^{(k)}(n)h(n)=\Omega\left(x^{1/(2k)-\varepsilon}\right).

This is stated as a broader belief extending the squarefree case; the source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
