Let M be a smooth compact manifold and let be a smooth codimension q Riemannian foliation of M. Let T(M) be the tangent bundle of M and let E ⊂ T(M) be the subbundle tangent to . We may regard the normal bundle Q = T(M)/E of as a subbundle of T(M) satisfying T(M) = E ⊕ Q. Let g be a smooth Riemannian metric on Q invariant under the natural parallelism along the leaves of .
