Rigid \(G_{2}\)-representations and motives of type \(G_{2}\) (Q2630859)

The authors consider the rigid local system (of rank \(7\), on \(\mathbb{P}_{\bar{\mathbb{Q}}}^1\backslash \{ 0,1,\infty \}\)) whose monodromy is dense in the simple algebraic group of type \(G_2\) and which has a local monodromy at \(\infty\) given by a Jordan block of size \(7\), and a family of motives associarted to it. They prove an explicit Hilbert irreducibility theorem for the associated étale realizations and deduce that the specialized motives at the points of irreducibility have motivic Galois group \(G_2\).
