(Semi)topological K-theory via solidification
Abstract
Clausen--Scholze introduced the notion of solid spectrum in their condensed mathematics program. We demonstrate that the solidification of algebraic K-theory recovers two known constructions: the semitopological K-theory of a real (associative) algebra and the topological (aka operator) K-theory of a real Banach algebra.
