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


Are the Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps homotopy inverse in arbitrary abelian categories?What do cohomology operations have to do with the non-existence of commutative cochains over $mathbb{Z}$?A theorem by Hopf on surfacesExistence of a chain map lifting the identity; Alexander-Whitney/Eilenberg-Zilber mapsReferences for Eilenberg-Zilber shuffle productRefined cofinality theorem for homotopy limits of spacesIs there a practical criterion to determine whether the limit of a diagram of real chain complexes is also a homotopy limit?$E_{infty}$ algebra in characteristic zeroDoes Alexander-Whitney formula imply Pythagoras theorem?Are the Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps homotopy inverse in arbitrary abelian categories?How to show mapping cones are homotopy cofibers

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.
