Mann's polynomial bound conjecture for Möbius values of open subgroups

From papers

Let GG be a positively finitely generated (PFG) group, and let bcbc be the Mobius function on the lattice of open subgroups of GG. For an open subgroup HGH\leq G, write G:H|G:H| for its index.

Mann's conjecture. The quantity μ(H,G)|\mu(H,G)| is bounded by a polynomial function of G:H|G:H|, and the number of subgroups HH of GG of index mm satisfying μ(H,G)0\mu(H,G)\neq 0 grows at most polynomially in mm.

This conjecture concerns polynomial control of both individual Mobius values and the number of open subgroups contributing nontrivially at each index in finitely generated profinite groups. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
