Remark 42.56.11. Let $(S, \delta )$ be as in Situation 42.7.1. Let $X$ be locally of finite type over $S$. Let $Z \subset X$ be a closed subscheme and let $D_{Z, perf}(\mathcal{O}_ X)$ be as in Remark 42.56.7. If $X$ is quasi-compact (or more generally the irreducible components of $X$ are quasi-compact), then the localized Chern character defines a canonical additive and multiplicative map

$ch(Z \to X, -) : K_0(D_{Z, perf}(\mathcal{O}_ X)) \longrightarrow \prod \nolimits _{i \geq 0} A^ i(Z \to X) \otimes \mathbf{Q}$

by sending a generator $[E]$ on the left hand side to $ch(Z \to X, E)$ and extending additively. The quasi-compactness condition on $X$ guarantees that the localized chern character is defined (Situation 42.50.1 and Definition 42.50.3) and that these localized chern characters convert distinguished triangles into the corresponding sums in the bivariant chow rings (Lemma 42.52.5). The multiplication on $K_0(D_{Z, perf}(X))$ is defined using derived tensor product (Derived Categories of Schemes, Remark 36.38.9) hence $ch(Z \to X, \alpha \beta ) = ch(Z \to X, \alpha ) ch(Z \to X, \beta )$ by Lemma 42.52.6.

The target of the map $ch(Z \to X, -)$ should be tensored with $\mathbf{Q}$.
