Equivalent approaches to the concept of completeness of foliations with transverse linear connection

A. Yu. Dolgonosova1, N. I. Zhukova2

AnnotationWe prove the equivalence of three different approaches to the definition of completeness of a foliation with transverse linear connection. It is shown that for the transverse affine foliations $(M, F)$ of codimension $ q, \, q \geqslant 1,$ each of the mentioned above conditions are equivalent to fulfillment of the following two conditions: 1) there exists an Ehresmann connection to $ (M, F)$; 2) the induced foliation on the universal covering space is formed by fibres of submersion onto $q$-dimensional affine space.
