Abstract
Generalised Heegner cycles are associated to a pair of an elliptic newform and a Hecke character over an imaginary quadratic extension $K/\Q$. The cycles live in a middle dimensional Chow group of a Kuga-Sato variety arising from an indefinite Shimura curve over the rationals and a self product of a CM abelian surface. Let be an odd prime split in $K/\Q$. We prove the non-triviality of the -adic Abel-Jacobi image of generalised Heegner cycles modulo over the -anticylotomic extension of . The result implies the non-triviality of the generalised Heegner cycles in the top graded piece of the coniveau filtration on the Chow group and proves a higher weight analogue of Mazur's conjecture. In the case of two, the result provides a refinement of the results of Cornut-Vatsal and Aflalo-Nekovář on the non-triviality of Heegner points over the -anticylotomic extension of .
