Proof. By Theorem 4.7, we have a canonical factorization QC⁡(X×YX)≃QC⁡(X)⊗QC⁡(Y)QC⁡(X)\qc(X\times_{Y}X)\simeq\qc(X)\otimes_{\qc(Y)}\qc(X). Using this identification, we can define the unit and trace by the correspondences u=Δ∗​π∗:QC⁡(Y)→QC⁡(X×YX)u=\Delta_{*}\pi^{*}:\qc(Y)\to\qc(X\times_{Y}X) and τ=π∗​Δ∗:QC⁡(X×YX)→QC⁡(Y)\tau=\pi_{*}\Delta^{*}:\qc(X\times_{Y}X)\to\qc(Y), where Δ:X→X×YX\Delta:X\to X\times_{Y}X is the relative diagonal. We need to check that the following composition is the identity:

QC⁡(X)\textstyle{\qc(X)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}u⊗id\scriptstyle{u\otimes\operatorname{id}}QC(X)⊗QC⁡(Y)QC(X)⊗QC⁡(Y)QC(X)\textstyle{\qc(X)\otimes_{\qc(Y)}\qc(X)\otimes_{\qc(Y)}\qc(X)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}id⊗τ\scriptstyle{\operatorname{id}\otimes\tau}QC⁡(X)\textstyle{\qc(X)}

The argument is a chase in the following diagram (with Cartesian square):

X\textstyle{\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces X\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Δ\scriptstyle{\Delta}Δ\scriptstyle{\Delta}X×YX\textstyle{X\times_{Y}X\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}π1\scriptstyle{\pi_{1}}id1×Δ23\scriptstyle{{\rm id}_{1}\times\Delta_{23}}X\textstyle{X}X\textstyle{X}X×YX\textstyle{\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces X\times_{Y}X\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}π2\scriptstyle{\pi_{2}}Δ12×id3\scriptstyle{\Delta_{12}\times{\rm id}_{3}}X×YX×YX\textstyle{X\times_{Y}X\times_{Y}X}

Applying base change and identities for compositions, we have equivalences of functors

(id⊗τ)∘(u⊗id)\displaystyle(\operatorname{id}\otimes\tau)\circ(u\otimes\operatorname{id}) =\displaystyle= π1∗(id1×Δ23)∗(Δ12×id3)∗π2∗\displaystyle\pi_{1*}({\rm id}_{1}\times\Delta_{23})^{*}(\Delta_{12}\times{\rm id}_{3})_{*}\pi^{*}_{2}
≃\displaystyle\simeq π1∗Δ∗Δ∗π∗2\displaystyle\pi_{1*}\Delta_{*}\Delta^{*}\pi^{*}_{2}
≃\displaystyle\simeq idQC⁡(X)\displaystyle{\rm id}_{\qc(X)}
