Abstract

In this article, we show that the Abel-Jacobi images of the Heegner cycles over the Shimura curves constructed by Nekovar, Besser and the theta elements contructed by Chida-Hsieh form a bipartite Euler system in the sense of Howard. As an application of this, we deduce a converse to Gross-Zagier-Kolyvagin type theorem for higher weight modular forms generalizing works of Wei Zhang and Skinner for modular forms of weight two. That is, we show that if the rank of certain residual Selmer group is one, then the Abel-Jacobi image of the Heegner cycle is non-zero in the residual Selmer group.
