Abstract: Let $NsubsetM$ be a submanifold embedding of spin manifolds of some codimension $kgeq1$. A classical result of Gromov and Lawson, refined by Hanke, Pape and Schick, states that $M$ does not admit a metric of positive scalar curvature if $k=2$ and the Dirac operator of $N$ has non-trivial index, provided that suitable conditions are satisfied. In the cases $k=1$ and $k=2$, Zeidler and Kubota, respectively, established more systematic results: There exists a transfer $mathrm{KO}_{a}st(mathrm{C}^{ast}p{i}_{1}M)omathrm{KO}_{ast-k}(mathrm{C}^{a}stp{i}_{1}N)$ which maps the index class of $M$ to the index class of $N$. The main goal of this article is to construct analogous transfer maps $E_{a}st(mathrmBp{i}_{1}M)o{E}_{ast-k}(mathrmBp{i}_{1}N)$ for different generalized homology theories $E$ and suitable submanifold embeddings. The design criterion is that it is compatible with the transfer $E_{a}st(M)o{E}_{ast-k}(N)$ induced by the inclusion $NsubsetM$ for a chosen orientation on the normal bundle. Under varying restrictions on homotopy groups and the normal bundle, we construct transfers in the following cases in particular: In ordinary homology, it works for all codimensions. This slightly generalizes a result of Engel and simplifies his proof. In complex K-homology, we achieve it for $kleq3$. For $kleq2$, we have a transfer on the equivariant KO-homology of the classifying space for proper actions.
