    Abstract. We prove an index theorem concerning the pushforward of flat \({\mathfrak B}\)-vector bundles, where \({\mathfrak B}\) is an appropriate algebra. We construct an associated analytic torsion form \({\mathcal T}\). If \(Z\) is a smooth closed aspherical manifold, we show that \({\mathcal T}\) gives invariants of \(\pi_*(\mathrm{Diff}(Z))\).
