Abstract: For a riemannian foliation mathcalF on a closed manifold M, it is known that mathcalF is taut (i.e. the leaves are minimal submanifolds) if and only if the (tautness) class defined by the mean curvature form kappamu (relatively to a suitable riemannian metric mu) is zero. In the transversally orientable case, tautness is equivalent to the non-vanishing of the top basic cohomology group Hn(M/mathcalF), where n=codimmathcalF. By the Poincar'e Duality, this last condition is equivalent to the non-vanishing of the basic twisted cohomology group Hkappamu0(M/mathcalF), when M is oriented. When M is not compact, the tautness class is not even defined in general. In this work, we recover the previous study and results for a particular case of riemannian foliations on non compact manifolds: the regular part of a singular riemannian foliation on a compact manifold (CERF).
