In thenextweuse the followingdefinitionofRiemannian foliationandsymplectic foliation. Definition19. ARiemannian foliation is anelementg∈S2(M)whichhas the followingproperties (1.1) rank(g)= constant, (1.2) LXg = 0 ∀X ∈ Γ(Ker(g)). A symplectic foliation is a ( de Rham) closed differential 2-form ω whichsatisfies (2.1) rank(ω)= constant, (2.2) LXω=0 ∀X∈Γ(Ker(ω)). Warning. When g is positive semi-definite our definition is equivalent to the classical definition of Riemannian foliation [38–40]. The complete integrability of Ker(g) and the conditions to be satisfied by the holonomy of leaves are equivalent to theProperty (2.2).

Weoftenuse thenotionof affine coordinates functions ina locallyflatmanifold. Fornonspecialistswe recall twodefinitionsand the linkbetween them. Definition20.

Anaffinely flat structure (M,A) and a locally flat structure (M,∇) are compatible if local coordinate functionsof (M,A)are solutions to theHessianequation ∇2xj=O Theorem 5.
