The purpose of this paper, the first in a series of two, is to describe extensions of some of their results in which abelian varieties are replaced by the Galois cohomology of Deligne's p-adic representation attached to a modular form f of even weight >2. In this more general setting, the role of Heegner points is played by higher-dimensional Heegner cycles in the sense of Nekov\\'a\\v{r}. In particular, we prove that the Pontryagin dual of a certain Bloch-Kato Selmer group associated with f has rank 1 over a suitable anticyclotomic Iwasawa algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-05-19T13:19:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R23", "11F11" ], "keywords": [ "iwasawa theory", "heegner points", "abelian varieties", "bloch-kato selmer group", "higher-dimensional heegner cycles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1405.2777L" } } }
