comment When is a Pseudo-differential operator trace class or in Dixmier ideal?
Moreover, by the Connes trace formula (alainconnes.org/docs/action88.pdf), if your operator is of order $-k$ for $k = \dim M$, then it is in the Dixmier ideal; indeed, it is measurable (in the sense of the theory of Dixmier traces), and the (unique value of the) Dixmier trace is given by the Wodzicki residue of your operator.

comment Eigenvalues of the free sphere
@Z254R Is $\sqrt{d^\ast d}$ actually going to give you the "Dirac operator" of a spectral triple? From the look of it, I'd sooner expect $\sqrt{d^\ast d}$ to only be the absolute value of such an operator, and finding the correct "sign" is often the tricky part with constructing spectral triples from the ground up.

comment Seeing topological (geom.) properties of the space via corresponding C^*-algebra
@IgorKhavkine: Would you happen to know how the approach of Michor and Vanžura compares to that outlined in "Smooth Manifolds and Observables" by "Jet Nestruev"? They seem to be at least in the same spirit, though I don't know how the details line up.

Do you allow for the various Clifford actions entering into $\mathscr{C}_n$ to come from differing inner products (viz, Riemannian metrics) on $\mathbb{R}^n$?

Not just any matrices, though, but the positive (semi-definite) ones.
