摘要
Given a foliation on a manifold with suitable curvature form, the Euler class of its tangent bundle is explicitly computed whenever it admits an umbilic leaf. If the leaf is compact, then topological obstructions arise by considering foliated manifolds with certain trivial cohomology group. The results fully generalize to distributions tangent to at least one compact umbilic submanifold. (C) 2016 Acadmie des sciences. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
