Construction of Anti-Cyclotomic Euler Systems of Abelian Varieties Associated to $X_1(N)$

Abstract

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, $N$ be a positive integer, $f(z)$ be a newform of level ${\Gamma }_1(N)$, and $A_f$ be the abelian variety associated to $f$. For each $\tau \in K$ ($\mathrm{Im}\tau >0$), we construct a certain point $P_{\tau }$ on $A_f$ defined over an extended ring class field of $K$ of level $N$. Our construction generalizes Birch's construction of the Heegner points to the abelian varieties associated to modular forms of level ${\Gamma }_1(N)$ and nontrivial character. Then, we show that $P_{\tau }$'s satisfy the distribution and congruence relations of an Euler system, which implies that it should be possible to apply the Euler system techniques to them to show a relation between the non-torsionness of $P_{\tau }$ and the rank of $A_f(K)$.
