Abstract
The subject of this chapter is one of the basic techniques of finite group theory, the transfer homomorphism. Since the kernel of this homomorphism has abelian quotient group, it is especially useful in the study of insoluble groups. It will be seen that this technique underlies many deep and important theorems about finite groups.
