Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a \(G\)-Lie foliation on the compact manifold \(M\) [\textit{Pierre Molino}, Riemannian foliations, Prog. Math. 73 (1988; Zbl 0633.53001)]. When the closure \(\overline\Gamma\) of the holonomy group \(\Gamma \subset G\) is an invariant subgroup of \(G\), it was proven in [\textit{M. Llabrés} and \textit{A. Reventós}, Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse, V. Sér., Math. 9, No. 2, 243-255 (1988; Zbl 0625.58025)] that the basic cohomology of \({\mathcal F}\) is isomorphic to the cohomology of the Lie algebra of \(G\). In the paper under review, the author considers the normalizer \(N(\overline \Gamma)\) of \(\overline \Gamma\) in \(G\) and proves that \(W_0 = \overline\Gamma N(\overline \Gamma)_e /\overline\Gamma\) is a compact connected Lie group acting on the basic manifold \(W= \overline\Gamma \backslash G\). Main result: there is a transversely homogeneous foliation \(N({\mathcal F})\) with compact leaves on \(M\) such that: (1) the foliation induced by \({\mathcal F}\) on each leaf of \( N({\mathcal F})\) is a \(N(\overline \Gamma)_e\)-Lie foliation; (2) the foliation induced by the closures of the leaves of \({\mathcal F}\) is a \(W_0\)-Lie foliation. The interest of the intermediate foliation \((N({\mathcal F}), {\mathcal F})\) is that it verifies the hypothesis of the theorem of Llabrés and Reventós cited above. Also, the paper completes several proofs of the latter authors, which implicitly assumed the basic manifold to be orientable.
