We introduce a notion of an algebra of generalized pseudo-differential
operators and prove that a spectral triple is regular if and only if it admits
an algebra of generalized pseudo-differential operators. We also provide a
self-contained proof of the fact that the product of regular spectral triples
is regular.
We prove that the Jaffe-Lesniewski-Osterwalder character is compatible with
the $A_{\infty}$-structure of Getzler and Jones.
