Abstract: In this paper we introduce the concept of singular Finsler foliation, which generalizes the concepts of Finsler actions, Finsler submersions and (regular) Finsler foliations. We show that if $mathcalF$ is a singular Finsler foliation on a Randers manifold $(M,Z)$ with Zermelo data $(mathtth,W),$ then $mathcalF$ is a singular Riemannian foliation on the Riemannian manifold $(M,mathtth)$. As a direct consequence we infer that the regular leaves are equifocal submanifolds (a generalization of isoparametric submanifolds) when the wind $W$ is an infinitesimal homothety of $mathtth$ (e.,g when $W$ is killing vector field or $M$ has constant Finsler curvature). We also present a slice theorem that relates local singular Finsler foliations on Finsler manifolds with singular Finsler foliations on Minkowski spaces.
