The book "The Riemann Hypothesis, A Resource for the Afficionado and Virtuoso Alike", Borwein, Choi, Rooney, Weirathmueller, Eds., states on its page six the following theorem (Theorem 1.2):

The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that for every fixed $\epsilon > 0$,

$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\lambda(1) + \lambda(2)+ ...+\lambda(n)}{n^{\frac 12 + \epsilon}} = 0.$$

(Here, $\lambda$ is the Liouville function $\lambda: n \mapsto (-1)^{\omega(n)}$ where $\omega(n)$ is the number of, not necessarily distinct, prime factors of $n$.) The editors remark that this statement among others were considered by Landau in his doctoral thesis of 1899. There is translation by Coons of a dissertation of Landau, which is described as his doctoral dissertation, here:

But I haven't been able to discern a direct connection between this article and the theorem above. Am I missing something? Is there perhaps a proof of this theorem available somewhere else? I've looked a bit, and I haven't found one.

Reason for asking: I wonder, under the Riemann hypothesis, what happens to the exponent in the denominator if powers of $-1$ in the definition of the Liouville function are replaced by powers of some other root of unity $\exp(2 \pi i)/k, k >2$$\exp(2 \pi i/k), k >2$.
