Abstract

Riemannian foliations constitute an important type of foliated structures. In this note we prove two theorems connecting the algebraic structure of Lie algebras of foliated vector fields with the smooth structure of a Riemannian foliation.

Keywords

Riemannian foliation, Lie algebra, ideal, isomorphism, vector field, generalized manifold, stratification
