Lemma 42.15.1. Let (S, \delta ) be as in Situation 42.7.1. Let
\xymatrix{ X' \ar[r]_{g'} \ar[d]_{f'} & X \ar[d]^ f \\ Y' \ar[r]^ g & Y }
be a fibre product diagram of schemes locally of finite type over S. Assume f : X \to Y proper and g : Y' \to Y flat of relative dimension r. Then also f' is proper and g' is flat of relative dimension r. For any k-cycle \alpha on X we have
g^*f_*\alpha = f'_*(g')^*\alpha
in Z_{k + r}(Y').
Proof.
The assertion that f' is proper follows from Morphisms, Lemma 29.41.5. The assertion that g' is flat of relative dimension r follows from Morphisms, Lemmas 29.29.2 and 29.25.8. It suffices to prove the equality of cycles when \alpha = [W] for some integral closed subscheme W \subset X of \delta -dimension k. Note that in this case we have \alpha = [\mathcal{O}_ W]_ k, see Lemma 42.10.3. By Lemmas 42.12.4 and 42.14.4 it therefore suffices to show that f'_*(g')^*\mathcal{O}_ W is isomorphic to g^*f_*\mathcal{O}_ W. This follows from cohomology and base change, see Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.5.2.
