Abstract
Let be a CM elliptic curve and let be a prime of good ordinary reduction for . Suppose that vanishes at and has sign in its functional equation, so in particular . In this paper we slightly modify a construction of Darmon--Rotger to define a generalised Kato class , and prove the following rank two analogue of Kolyvagin's result: Conversely, when we show that if and only if the restriction map is nonzero. The proof of these results, which extend and strenghten similar results of the author with Hsieh in the non-CM case, exploit a new link between the nonvanishing of generalised Kato classes and a main conjecture in anticyclotomic Iwasawa theory.
