The chromatic height red-shift conjecture for algebraic K-theory

From papers

Let RR be a ring spectrum of height nn, meaning that K(n)R0K(n)_*R\neq 0 and K(m)R=0K(m)_*R=0 for every m>nm>n, where K(m)K(m) denotes Morava K-theory. Height red-shift conjecture. The algebraic K-theory spectrum K(R)\operatorname{K}(R) is of height n+1n+1. This is a height-theoretic form of the red-shift principle, asserting that algebraic K-theory increases chromatic height by one; the supplied text does not give a resolution of the conjecture in this generality.
