λ\bm{\lambda}-LpL^p conjecture for Liouville exponential sums

Let λ(n)\bm{\lambda}(n) be the Liouville function, and for NNN\in\mathbb{N} define

LN(z)=k=1Nλ(k)zk.L_N(z)=\sum_{k=1}^{N}\bm{\lambda}(k)z^k.

For a fixed exponent pp, let LNp\|L_N\|_p denote its LpL^p norm on the unit circle. λ\bm{\lambda}-LpL^p conjecture.

k=1Nλ(k)zkpεN1/2+ε.\Big\|\sum_{k=1}^{N}\bm{\lambda}(k)z^k\Big\|_p\ll_\varepsilon N^{1/2+\varepsilon}.

The source presents this as an analogue of the Hajela–Smith conjecture and immediately proves that a corresponding bound for sufficiently large p>2p>2 would imply the Riemann Hypothesis. It does not specify the range of pp or resolve the conjecture.
