Finite Mod_{g,n}-orbits are motivic for g≥3
Show that for genus g≥3, any irreducible representation \rho: \pi_1(Σ_{g,n})\to GL_r(\mathbb{C}) whose conjugacy class has finite orbit under Mod_{g,n} underlies, for any complex structure on Σ_{g,n}, a local system of geometric origin.

Conjecture [\u007f[Conjecture 6.1]{text}] Suppose $g\geq 3$. Let $$\rho: \pi_1(\Sigma_{g,n})\to \on{GL}r(\mathbb{C})$$ be an irreducible representation whose conjugacy class has finite orbit under $\on{Mod}{g,n}$. Then for any complex structure on $\Sigma_{g,n}$, the local system associated to $\rho$ is of geometric origin.
