Transverse structure of Lie foliations (Q1363227)

The authors consider two problems, called by them the realization problem and the change problem, concerning Lie foliations. The first problem is to find, given a pair \((\mathcal G, \mathcal K)\) of Lie algebras with \(\mathcal K\subset\mathcal G\), a Lie foliation \(\mathcal F\) of a compact manifold \(M\) for which \(\mathcal G\) and \(\mathcal K\) become transverse and structural algebras. The second one is to decide whether a given Lie \(\mathcal G\)-foliation can become a \(\mathcal G'\)-foliation with \(\mathcal G'\) being a Lie algebra non-isomorphic to \(\mathcal G\). The paper contains several interesting results related to these problems.
