Transversely Orientable Foliation


A transversely orientable foliation is a foliation F of dimension p on a manifold M that is integral to a p-plane distribution D on M whose normal bundle Q is orientable. A p-plane distribution D whose normal bundle is orientable is said to be a transversely orientable distribution.
