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.
