For the conjugation action, fixed elements have coefficients constant on -conjugacy classes. Therefore . More generally an -basis of consists of sums of the -conjugation orbits on .
For define the relative trace, or transfer, byThe expression is independent of the coset representatives and is -fixed. If , then ; hence its image is a transfer ideal of conjugation-fixed elements in the center of an associative algebra.
