Abstract: We verify the Becker-Shultz axioms characterizing the Becker-Gottlieb transfer $τ$ for the composite of the algebraic K-theory transfer of any perfect fibration followed by the trace map. As a consequence, for any compact ANR fibration (those considered by Becker-Shultz), $τ$ is homotopy equivalent to the composite of the algebraic K-theory transfer followed by the trace map. Furthermore, if these same axioms (including strong additivity) could be shown to extend to characterizing $τ$ for arbitrary perfect fibrations, our homotopy equivalence extends to the case of arbitrary perfect fibrations as well.
