Let X be a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve over a finite field \mathbbFq, and let G be a split semisimple algebraic group over \mathbbFq. Its dual group G is a split reductive group over ℤ. Conjecturally, any l-adic G-local system on X (equivalently, any conjugacy class of continuous homomorphisms π1(X) → G(ℚl)) should be associated to an everywhere unramified automorphic representation of the group G. We show that for any homomorphism π1(X) → G(ℚl) of Zariski dense image, there exists a finite Galois cover Y → X over which the associated local system becomes automorphic.
