contents The Wodzicki residue is the unique trace on the algebra of classical pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold, and Connes in 1988 proved that it coincides with the Dixmier trace. A Carnot manifold is a manifold $M$ whose tangent bundle $TM$ is equipped with a nested family $H$ of sub-bundles $H_0\leq H_1 \leq \cdots \leq TM$ which defines a filtration of the Lie algebra of vector fields on $M.$ Differential operators on Carnot manifolds have their order measured in terms of the filtration defined by $H,$ and the algebra of differential operators can be extended to an algebra of pseudodifferential operators. Recently, Dave-Haller and Couchet-Yuncken proposed definitions of a residue functional on the algebra of pseudodifferential operators adapted to a Carnot manifold. We prove that Connes' trace theorem holds in this setting.
