K-theory of non-archimedean rings I

Abstract

We introduce a variant of homotopy K-theory for Tate rings, which we call analytic K-theory. It is homotopy invariant with respect to the analytic affine line viewed as an ind-object of closed disks of increasing radii. Under a certain regularity assumption we prove an analytic analog of the Bass fundamental theorem and we compare analytic K-theory with continuous K-theory, which is defined in terms models. Along the way we also prove some results about the algebraic K-theory of Tate rings.
