Abstract: The study of descent properties of K-theory plays an important role in understanding its values and behaviour in many geometric contexts. In this talk, I will explain a construction of certain diagrams arising from formal gluing situations for which continuous K-theory, and more generally all localising invariants, satisfy descent, from the perspective of dualisable categories. I will also discuss how this encompasses both Clausen?Scholze?s gluing result for analytic adic spaces and an adelic descent result for dualisable categories.
