Proposition 4.6. Let X1,X2X_{1},X_{2} be perfect stacks. Then external tensor product defines an equivalence

⊠:QC⁡(X1)c⊗QC⁡(X2)c→∼QC⁡(X1×X2)c\boxtimes:\qc(X_{1})^{c}\otimes\qc(X_{2})^{c}\stackrel{{\scriptstyle\sim}}{{\rightarrow}}\qc(X_{1}\times X_{2})^{c}

In other words, the ∞\infty-category of perfect complexes on the product is the (small stable idempotent complete) tensor product of the ∞\infty-categories of perfect complexes on the factors.

Proof. Set X=X1×X2X=X_{1}\times X_{2}. By Proposition 3.24, we know that the external product takes compact objects to compact objects, and QC⁡(X)c\qc(X)^{c} is generated by external products.

Thus it suffices to verify that for Mi,Ni∈QC⁡(Xi)cM_{i},N_{i}\in\qc(X_{i})^{c} we have an equivalence

HomX⁡(M1⊠M2,N1⊠N2)≃HomX1⁡(M1,N1)⊗HomX2⁡(M2,N2).\Hom_{X}(M_{1}\boxtimes M_{2},N_{1}\boxtimes N_{2})\simeq\Hom_{X_{1}}(M_{1},N_{1})\otimes\Hom_{X_{2}}(M_{2},N_{2}).

Using the fact that each MiM_{i} is dualizable and p2p_{2} satisfies the projection formula (since it is perfect), we calculate

HomX⁡(p1∗​M1⊗p2∗​M2,p1∗​N1⊗p2∗​N2)\displaystyle\Hom_{X}(p_{1}^{*}M_{1}\otimes p_{2}^{*}M_{2},p_{1}^{*}N_{1}\otimes p_{2}^{*}N_{2}) ≃\displaystyle\simeq Γ⁡(X,p1∗​M1∨⊗p1∗​N1⊗p2∗​M2∨⊗p2∗​N2)\displaystyle\Gamma(X,p_{1}^{*}M_{1}^{\vee}\otimes p_{1}^{*}N_{1}\otimes p_{2}^{*}M_{2}^{\vee}\otimes p_{2}^{*}N_{2})
≃\displaystyle\simeq Γ⁡(X2,(p2)∗​(p1∗​ℋ​o​mX1​(M1,N2)⊗p2∗​ℋ​o​mX2​(M2,N2)))\displaystyle\Gamma(X_{2},(p_{2})_{*}(p_{1}^{*}{\mathcal{H}om}_{X_{1}}(M_{1},N_{2})\otimes p_{2}^{*}{\mathcal{H}om}_{X_{2}}(M_{2},N_{2})))
≃\displaystyle\simeq Γ⁡(X2,HomX1⁡(M1,N1)⊗ℋ​o​mX2​(M2,N2))\displaystyle\Gamma(X_{2},\Hom_{X_{1}}(M_{1},N_{1})\otimes{\mathcal{H}om}_{X_{2}}(M_{2},N_{2}))
≃\displaystyle\simeq HomX1⁡(M1,N1)⊗HomX2⁡(M2,N2)\displaystyle\Hom_{X_{1}}(M_{1},N_{1})\otimes\Hom_{X_{2}}(M_{2},N_{2})
