Abstract: We give a direct proof of a cancellation formula raised by Han and Zhang (2004) on the level of differential forms. We also obtain more cancellation formulas for even dimensional Riemannian manifolds with a complex line bundle involved. Relations among these cancellation formulas are discussed.
