In this talk we discuss an approach to the descent problem for K-theory of fields in which we construct an analogue to the assembly map for group rings which applies to the K-theory of fields instead. In this case, the domain of this assembly map is a space attached to the complex representation theory of the absolute Galois group. We will conjecture that this map is an equivalence, and discuss some consequences.
