Let $N/K$ be a biquadratic extension of algebraic number fields, and $G\,=\,\text{Gal(}N/K\text{)}$. Under a weak restriction on the ramification filtration associated with each prime of $K$ above 2, we explicitly describe the $\mathbb{Z}\text{ }[G]\text{ }$-module structure of each ambiguous ideal of $N$. We find under this restriction that in the representation of each ambiguous ideal as a $\mathbb{Z}\text{ }[G]\text{ }$-module, the exponent (or multiplicity) of each indecomposable module is determined by the invariants of ramification, alone.

For a given group, $G$, define ${{S}_{G}}$ to be the set of indecomposable $\mathbb{Z}\text{ }[G]\text{ }$-modules, $M$, such that there is an extension, $N/K$, for which $G\cong \text{Gal(}N/K\text{)}$, and $M$ is a $\mathbb{Z}\text{ }[G]\text{ }$-module summand of an ambiguous ideal of $N$. Can ${{S}_{G}}$ ever be infinite? In this paper we answer this question of Chinburg in the affirmative.
