Abstract

Let π\pi be a polarized, regular algebraic, cuspidal automorphic representation of GLn(AF)\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_F) where FF is totally real or imaginary CM, and let (ρλ)λ(\rho_\lambda)_\lambda be its associated compatible system of Galois representations. Suppose that 7n7\nmid n and, if 4n4\mid n, then n=4pn = 4p for some prime number pp. We prove that there is a Dirichlet density 11 set of rational primes L\mathcal{L} such that whenever λ\lambda\mid \ell for some L\ell\in \mathcal{L}, then ρλ\rho_\lambda is irreducible.
