On the existence of paratactical three-webs (Q1006954)

A 3-web \(W(3,2,r)\) of codimension \(r\) on a \((2r)\)-dimensional differentiable manifold \(X^{2r}\) is defined by three foliations, if their leaves through any point \(x\in X^{2r}\) are in general position. The web \(W(3,2,r)\) is paratactical \((PW(3,2,r))\) iff its torsion tensor vanishes. In this paper the author, by constructing a series of examples, proves the existence of paratactical 3-webs \(PW(3,2,r)\) in the case \(r\geq 2\).
