Some framed \(f\)-structures on transversally Finsler foliations (Q2890375)

An \(f\)-structure is a \((1,1)\)-tensor field \(f\) on a manifold \(M\) such that \(f^3 + f = 0\) (cf. [\textit{K. Yano}, Tensor, New Ser. 14, 99--109 (1963; Zbl 0122.40705)]). Transversal Finslerian foliations (i.e., foliations \(\mathcal F\) on a manifold \(M\) whose normal bundle \(\nu ({\mathcal F}) \to M\) carries a holonomy invariant Finslerian metric) were first considered by \textit{A. Miernowski} [Ann. Univ. Mariae Curie-Skłodowska, Sect. A 60, 57--64 (2006; Zbl 1136.53027)] and \textit{A. Miernowski} and \textit{W. Mozgawa} [Differ. Geom. Appl. 24, No. 2, 209--214 (2006; Zbl 1095.53021)]. The author studies certain ramifications of the geometry of \(f\)-structures (framed \(f\)-structures) on the normal bundle \(\nu (\tilde{\mathcal F}) \to B^1_T (M, {\mathcal F})\) of the lifted foliation \(\tilde{\mathcal F}\) associated to a transversal Finslerian foliation \(\mathcal F\).
