Explicit chain homotopy for the Alexander-Whitney, Eilenberg-Zilber pair












4












$begingroup$


Let $A$ and $B$ be simplicial abelian groups, and let $N_ast(-)$ denote the normalized chain complex functor. Let
$$AW_{A,B}colon N_ast(Aotimes B)
longrightarrow N_ast(A)otimes N_ast(B)$$

and
$$ EZ_{A,B}colon N_ast(A)otimes N_ast(B)
longrightarrow N_ast(Aotimes B)$$

denote the Alexander-Whitney map
and the Eilenberg-Zilber map respectively.
Does anyone know of an explicit chain homotopy realizing
$$EZ_{A,B}circ AW_{A,B}sim Id_{N_ast(Aotimes B)}.$$



Motivation for its existence can be found in the comments of this question.
