We study generalised Heegner cycles, originally introduced by Bertolini–Darmon–Prasanna for modular curves in Bertolini et al. (Duke Math J 162(6):1033–1148, 2013), in the context of Mumford curves. The main result of this paper relates generalized Heegner cycles with the two variable anticyclotomic p-adic L-function attached to a Coleman family $$f_\infty $$ and an imaginary quadratic field K, constructed in Bertolini and Darmon (Invent Math 168(2):371–431, 2007) and Seveso (J Reine Angew Math 686:111–148, 2014). While in Bertolini and Darmon (Invent Math 168(2):371–431, 2007) and Seveso (J Reine Angew Math 686:111–148, 2014) only the restriction to the central critical line of this 2 variable p-adic L-function is considered, our generalised Heegner cycles allow us to study the restriction of this function to non-central critical lines. The main result expresses the derivative along the weight variable of this anticyclotomic p-adic L-function restricted to non necessarily central critical lines as a combination of the image of generalized Heegner cycles under a p-adic Abel–Jacobi map. In studying generalised Heegner cycles in the context of Mumford curves, we also obtain an extension of a result of Masdeu (Compos Math 148(4):1003–1032, 2012) for the (one variable) anticyclotomic p-adic L-function of a modular form f and K at non-central critical integers.
