Relévement dans le fibré transverse d'un feuilletage d'une variété riemannienne. (Lifts to the transverse bundle to a foliation on a Riemannian manifold) (Q1174183)

The total space of the transverse bundle of any foliation \(\mathcal F\) of a manifold \(M\) possesses the canonical foliation \(\tilde{\mathcal F}\) (due to the fact that the partial canonical Bott connection is flat). Assuming that \({\mathcal F}\) is Riemannian, the author finds that some geometric properties of a foliation are due to \({\mathcal F}\) if and only if they are due to \(\tilde{\mathcal F}\). For example, such a property is: \({\mathcal F}\) is totally geodesic or \({\mathcal F}\) is a Lie foliation.
