Moon–Taguchi finiteness conjecture for geometric mod pp representations over function fields

Let KK be a global function field of characteristic different from pp, with absolute Galois group GKG_K. Let nn be a positive integer and let R\mathfrak{R} be an effective divisor of KK. A representation is geometric when the fixed field of the kernel contains no constant field extension of KK. Moon–Taguchi finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many isomorphism classes of continuous semisimple representations

ρ:GKGLn(Fp)\rho:G_K\to \mathrm{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)

whose Artin conductor R(ρ)\mathfrak{R}(\rho) divides R\mathfrak{R} and which are geometric. The conjecture is the function-field analogue of the number-field finiteness conjecture; the source states that the paper proves it when pp is odd or n=2n=2, removing the earlier restriction pnp\nmid n.
