Abstract: We study the infinitesimal invariant for a family of algebraic cycles on Jacobian varieties, and prove the formula for calculating the infinitesimal invariant. Applying this formula to Jacobian varieties of plane curves, we detect a non-torsion element in the higher Griffiths group, which is a group of algebraic cycles modulo certain algebraic equivalence based on the theory of mixed motives.
