Manifolds with boundary and foliations

139 Views Asked by At

Is there a theory of foliations by manifolds with boundary? Particularly, Is there a generalization of the Frobenius theorem and the Stefan-Sussmann theorem in which the leaves are manifolds with boundary?

Thanks for your help!

Once you assume appropriate boundary conditions, everything is the same as in the theory without boundary.

This preprint and this preprint give Frobenius and Stefan-Sussmann type theorems for manifolds with boundary assuming the distribution is normal: there is a vector in the distribution transverse to the boundary at each point. It is precisely this situation where the leaves have boundary.
