Abstract:
      The paper describes a formal algorithm (i. e., Diana algorithm) to prove the local index theorem for Dirac operator, and points out that the magic power of the algorithm needs a logical ground attached. On this understanding we could see that there are several gaps in the Getzler's proof.
