      The author discusses various problems related to the structure of the foliations of some submanifolds of \(\mathbb{C}^n\), in particular, CR manifolds foliated by complex leaves, called Levi-flat manifolds. As a general scheme, the author assumes that the foliated submanifold is bounded along a coordinate (or a subset of coordinates), and the conclusion is that the complex leaves of the foliation are planes. The arguments use Liouville's theorem for analytic multifunctions in the sense of \textit{K. Oka} [J. Sci. Hiroshima Univ., Ser. A 4, 93--98 (1934; Zbl 0011.31403; JFM 60.1023.03)], and the characterization of multifunctions by means of plurisubharmonic functions found by \textit{Z. Slodkowski} [Math. Ann. 256, 363--386 (1981; Zbl 0452.46028)].
