Power-residue density conjecture for motivic Galois representations

Let ρ:Gal(Q/Q)GLnQ\rho:\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})\to\operatorname{GL}_n\mathbf{Q}_\ell be a motivic Galois representation, and let δm(ρ)\delta_m(\rho) be the density ratio defined using the traces ap(ρ)=trρ(Frobp)a_p(\rho)=\operatorname{tr}\rho(\operatorname{Frob}_p) for an integer m2m\geq 2. Ramakrishna's power-residue density conjecture. If the image of ρ\rho is open, then

δm(ρ)=1m.\delta_m(\rho)=\frac{1}{m}.

This extends the modular-form prediction to motivic representations with open image. It is stated jointly with Ramakrishna, and the source gives no evidence of a resolution.
