The global Azumaya algebra conjecture for automorphic Galois representations

Let KK be a number field, let π\pi be a regular cuspidal algebraic automorphic representation of GLn(AK)\operatorname{GL}_n({\mathbb A}_K), let ρπ,p\rho_{\pi,p} be its associated Galois representation, and let DpD_p be the Azumaya algebra associated to it.

Global Azumaya algebra conjecture. There exists a central simple algebra DD over Q(π)\mathbb Q(\pi) such that, for every prime pp,

DpDQ(π)Q(π)p.D_p\simeq D\otimes_{\mathbb Q(\pi)}\mathbb Q(\pi)_p.

This predicts that the local Azumaya algebras arising from the Galois representations are the completions of one global central simple algebra. The source motivates it through the expected Mumford–Tate description and cites Chenevier for the construction of DpD_p; no resolution is given.
