We study the Hochschild homology groups of the algebra of complete symbols on a foliated manifold (M,F)(M,F). The first step is to relate these groups to the Poisson homology of (M,F)(M,F) and of other related foliated manifolds. We then establish several general properties of the Poisson homology groups of foliated manifold…
