Lemma 82.11.2. In Situation 82.2.1 let $X, Y/B$ be good. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a finite locally free morphism of degree $d$ (see Morphisms of Spaces, Definition 67.46.2). Then $f$ is both proper and flat of relative dimension $0$, and
for every $\alpha \in Z_ k(Y)$.
Proof. A finite locally free morphism is flat and finite by Morphisms of Spaces, Lemma 67.46.6, and a finite morphism is proper by Morphisms of Spaces, Lemma 67.45.9. We omit showing that a finite morphism has relative dimension $0$. Thus the formula makes sense. To prove it, let $Z \subset Y$ be an integral closed subscheme of $\delta $-dimension $k$. It suffices to prove the formula for $\alpha = [Z]$. Since the base change of a finite locally free morphism is finite locally free (Morphisms of Spaces, Lemma 67.46.5) we see that $f_*f^*\mathcal{O}_ Z$ is a finite locally free sheaf of rank $d$ on $Z$. Thus clearly $f_*f^*\mathcal{O}_ Z$ has length $d$ at the generic point of $Z$. Hence
