Abstract
Index and G index for general spinor fields are evaluated by topological methods. This leads to a simple determination of the axial anomaly for general spinor fields and of the nonlocal boundary term, which allows for fractional winding numbers in spite of the integrality of the index. The results are relevant for gravitational vacuum tunnelling of higher spin fields.
