Abstract
Greenberg's conjecture on the stability of -class groups in the cyclotomic -extension of a real field has been proven for various infinite families of real quadratic fields for the prime . In this work, we consider an infinite family of real biquadratic fields . With some extensive use of elementary group theoretic and class field theoretic arguments, we investigate the -class groups of the -th layers of the cyclotomic -extension of and verify Greenberg's conjecture. We also relate capitulation of ideal classes of certain sub-extensions of to the relative sizes of the -class groups.
