Integrals of foliations on manifolds with a generalized symplectic structure

Ronald Owen Fulp and Joe Alton Marlin

Vol. 67 (1976), No. 2, 373–387
Abstract

Let M be a C manifold of dimension m and E an integrable subbundle (foliation) of the tangent bundle TM. We are interested in structures on the set of all local integrals of E. For example, if M is a symplectic manifold then the Poisson brackets operation on the set Cloc of all local functions of M defines an algebraic structure on Cloc. Earlier authors have called such structures “function groups.” In particular, if XH is a nonvanishing Hamiltonian vector field, then XH defines a foliation E of M and the set of all local integrals of E is also a function group.
