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

and
$$ EZ_A,Bcolon N_ast(A)otimes N_ast(B)
longrightarrow N_ast(Aotimes B)$$

denote the Alexander-Whitney map
and the Eilenberg-Zilber map respectively.
Does anyone know of an explicit chain homotopy realizing
$$EZ_A,Bcirc AW_A,Bsim Id_N_ast(Aotimes B).$$



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