Abstract: Under a non-torsion assumption on Heegner points, results of Kolyvagin describe the structure of Shafarevich-Tate groups of elliptic curves. In this paper we prove analogous results for (p-primary) Shafarevich-Tate groups associated with higher weight modular forms over imaginary quadratic fields satisfying a "Heegner hypothesis". More precisely, we show that the structure of Shafarevich-Tate groups is controlled by cohomology classes built out of Nekov'av{r}'s Heegner cycles on Kuga-Sato varieties. As an application of our main theorem, we improve on a result of Besser giving a bound on the order of these groups. As a second contribution, we prove a result on the structure of (p-primary) Selmer groups of modular forms in the sense of Bloch--Kato.
