Abstract
We discuss the chromatic filtration in stable homotopy theory and its connections with algebraic K-theory, specifically with some results of Thomason, Mitchell, Waldhausen and McClure-Staffeldt. We offer a new definition (suggested by the failure of the telescope conjecture) of the chromatic filtration, in which all of the localization functors used are finite.
