$\sO_G\to B_G$, and restricting to spans of the form $Y\gets X\stackrel\id\to X$ defines a contravariant functor
$\sO_G\op\to B_G$. Composing with a Mackey functor $F$ defines a pair of functors $\sO_G\op\to\Ab$ and
$\sO_G\to\Ab$. We'll denote the image of an $f\colon X\to Y$ under these functors as $f^*$ and $f_*$, and given a

so it's clear how a map $G/H\to G/K$ induces both a right-way and a wrong-way map.
\item Let $\underline\Z$ denote the \term{constant Mackey functor} in $\Z$, which assigns $\Z$ to every object.
You have to figure out what the transfers and restrictions are, but in the end the restrictions are the
identity and the transfers are multiplication by the Euler characteristic.
The restriction maps are all the identity, and the transfer $G/H\to G/K$ is multiplication by $\abs{H/K}$.
\item The \term{Burnside Mackey functor} $A(G)$ is defined by letting $A(G)(G/H)$ be the Grothendieck group of
the monoid on $H$-sets under coproduct. The transfer and restriction maps come from induction and restriction,
respectively, between $H\Set$ and $K\Set$.

\item The \term{representation Mackey functor} $R(G)$ is defined by letting $R(G)(G/H)$ be the Grothendieck
group of finite-dimensional $H$-representations, with transfer and restriction given by
$\Z[K]\otimes_{\Z[H]}\bl$.

\item Just as we described Mackey functors as a pair of a covariant and a contravariant functor satisfying a
push-pull axiom, there's a similar (more complicated) definition for Tambara functors, with three functors
satisfying some interoperability conditions. We won't need this for the time being, so we're not going to write
it out. \qedhere

\item If you forget the norm map, a Tambara functor defines a Green functor. A Green functor may extend to a
Tambara functor, but such an extension need not exist or be unique~\cite{MazurThesis}.
