    A general class of infinite-dimensional Dirac operators is defined in an abstract Boson-Fermion Fock space and some of their properties are studied. A path integral representation of their index is established, giving a topologically invariant integer-valued functional on a space of functionals with values in a Hilbert space. It is shown that the supersymmetric quantum theories associated with the Dirac operators yield the Wess-Zumino models in supersymmetric quantum field theory.
