Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to investigate Greenberg's conjecture for real biquadratic fields. More precisely, we propose the following problem: What are real biquadratic number fields kk such that rank(A(k))=rank(A(k1)){\rm rank}(A(k_\infty)) = {\rm rank}(A(k_1))?, where A(k)A(k_\infty) is the 22-Iwasawa module of kk and A(k1)A(k_1) is the 22-class group of k1k_1 the first layer of the cyclotomic Z2\mathbb Z_2-extension of kk. Moreover, we give several families of real biquadratic fields kk such that A(k)A(k_\infty) is trivial or isomorphic to Z/2nZ\mathbb Z/2^{n} \mathbb Z or Z/2Z×Z/2nZ\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z \times\mathbb Z/2^n \mathbb Z, where nn is a given positive integer. The reader can also find some results concerning the 22-rank of the class group of certain real triquadratic fields.
