In [Carey, A.L., J. Mickelsson, and M. K. Murray: Comm. Math. Phys. 183, 707 (1997)] Schwinger terms in hamiltonian quantization of chiral fermions coupled to vector potentials were computed, using some ideas from the theory of gerbes, with the help of the family index theorem for a manifold with boundary. Here, we generalize this method to include gravitational Schwinger terms.
