The Redshift Bound from Quillen-Lichtenbaum
arXiv:2608.02180
Abstract
We give a new proof that algebraic K-theory increases chromatic height by at most one, originally established by Clausen-Mathew-Naumann-Noel. Our argument proceeds by descent from the Lubin-Tate spectrum, for which the required vanishing follows from Hahn-Wilson's Quillen-Lichtenbaum result.
v2: correct oversight in Proposition 8, 7 pages. v1: 7 pages. Comments are welcome!
