Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve over Q\mathbb{Q} and AA be another elliptic curve over a real quadratic number field. We construct a Q\mathbb{Q}-motive of rank 88, together with a distinguished class in the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group, using Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles, that is, graphs of Hirzebruch-Zagier morphisms. We show that, under certain assumptions on EE and AA, the non-vanishing of the central critical value of the (twisted) triple product LL-function attached to (E,A)(E,A) implies that the dimension of the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group of the motive is 00; and the non-vanishing of the distinguished class implies that the dimension of the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group of the motive is 11. This can be viewed as the triple product version of Kolyvagin's work on bounding Selmer groups of a single elliptic curve using Heegner points.
