Abstract
The Letter announces the following results (the proofs will appear elsewhere). An operad actine on Hochschild chains and cochains of an associative algebra is constructed. This operad is formal. In the case when this algebra is the algebra of smooth function on a smooth manifold, the action of this operad on the corresponding Hochschild chains and cochains is formal. The induced map on the (periodic) cyclic homology is given by the formula involving the A-genus. The index theorem for degenerate Poisson structures follows from the latter fact.
