If G is finite and n>0, multiplication by ∣G∣ annihilates Hn(G,M). Indeed, restriction to the trivial subgroup is zero in positive degree, while the restriction-corestriction composite is multiplication by ∣G∣.

Restriction-corestriction identity in group cohomology

 0  0
Finite-group cohomology is annihilated by the group order
For a subgroup K≤G, restriction followed by corestriction acts on group cohomology as the sum over coset translates. For K trivial, inner automorphisms act trivially on cohomology, so this sum is multiplication by ∣G∣.
