Lemma 20.13.7. Let $f : X \to Y$ and $g : Y \to Z$ be morphisms of ringed spaces. In this case $Rg_* \circ Rf_* = R(g \circ f)_*$ as functors from $D^{+}(X) \to D^{+}(Z)$.
The total derived functor of a composition is the composition of the total derived functors.
Proof.
We are going to apply Derived Categories, Lemma 13.22.1. It is clear that $g_* \circ f_* = (g \circ f)_*$, see Sheaves, Lemma 6.21.2. It remains to show that $f_*\mathcal{I}$ is $g_*$-acyclic. This follows from Lemma 20.11.10 and the description of the higher direct images $R^ ig_*$ in Lemma 20.7.3.
