In 1992, Greither proved the Iwasawa main conjecture for abelian number fields in the p=2 case.[5][6] In 1999, together with D. R. Rapogle, K. Rubin, and A. Srivastav, he proved a converse to the Hilbert–Speiser theorem.[7]

Greither was a full professor at the Universität der Bundeswehr München. He retired in 2022,[8] and he is now an emeritus.[9][10]

Greither is on the editorial boards of the journals Archivum mathematicum Brno,[2][11] New York Journal of Mathematics,[2][12] as well as the Journal de Théorie des Nombres Bordeaux.[2][13] Until 2014, he was an associate editor of Annales mathématiques du Québec.[2][14]
