On symmetries of singular foliations (Q6156147)

In this interesting paper the author shows that a weak symmetry action of a Lie algebra \(g\) on a singular foliation \(F\) induces a unique up to homotopy Lie \(\infty\)-morphism from \(g\) to the DGLA of vector fields on a universal Lie \(\infty\)-algebroid of \(F\). Such a morphism was called an \(L_\infty\)-algebra action in [\textit{R. A. Mehta} and \textit{M. Zambon}, Differ. Geom. Appl. 30, No. 6, 576--587 (2012; Zbl 1267.58003)]. From this general result several geometrical consequences are deduced. It is given an example of a Lie algebra action on an affine subvariety which cannot be extended to the ambient space. Finally, the notion of bi-submersion towers over a singular foliation and lift symmetries to those is introduced.
