At the centre of geodesic normal coordinates, expand the square of the Twisted Dirac operator. The diagonal terms give the rough Laplacian; the off-diagonal terms are . The tensor-product vector-bundle curvature is the sum of spin curvature and . Substituting spin curvature and using the Clifford algebra relations yields the scalar term : the four-generator contribution vanishes by the algebraic Bianchi identity and the contracted terms are the scalar curvature. This proves the displayed identity at every point.
