Abstract: The quantization of the superclassical system used in the proof of the index theorem results in a factor of $hba{r}^{2}R/8$ in the Hamiltonian. The path integral expression of the kernel is analyzed up to and including 2-loop order. The existence of the scalar curvature term is confirmed by comparing the linear term in the heat kernel expansion with the 2-loop order terms in the loop expansion.
