Lemma 82.11.1. In Situation 82.2.1 let
\[ \xymatrix{ X' \ar[r]_{g'} \ar[d]_{f'} & X \ar[d]^ f \\ Y' \ar[r]^ g & Y } \]
be a fibre product diagram of good algebraic spaces over $B$. 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 of Spaces, Lemma 67.40.3. The assertion that $g'$ is flat of relative dimension $r$ follows from Morphisms of Spaces, Lemmas 67.34.3 and 67.30.4. It suffices to prove the equality of cycles when $\alpha = [W]$ for some integral closed subspace $W \subset X$ of $\delta $-dimension $k$. Note that in this case we have $\alpha = [\mathcal{O}_ W]_ k$, see Lemma 82.6.3. By Lemmas 82.8.3 and 82.10.5 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 Spaces, Lemma 69.11.2.
