Abstract. Some problems concerning to Liouville distribution and framed f -structures are studied on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation to its normal bundle. It is shown that the Liouville distribution of transversally Finsler foliations is an integrable one and some natural framed f (3, ε)-structures of corank 2 exist on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation.
Introduction and preliminaries.The study of structures on manifolds defined by a tensor field satisfying f 3 ± f = 0 has the origin in a paper by K. Yano [15]. Later on, these structures have been generically called fstructures. On the tangent manifold of a Finsler space, the notion of framed f (3, 1)-structure was defined and studied by M. Anastasiei in [2]. Further developments concerning framed f (3, −1)-structure on such manifold was studied in [5,6]. In a paper by A. Miernowski and W. Mozgawa [9] was defined the notion of transversally Finsler foliation and there it is proved that the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation to its normal bundle has a local model of tangent manifold and it is the Riemannian one. Thus, some problems specific for tangent manifolds can be extended and studied on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation. Firstly, following [4], we define a Liouville distribution in the vertical bundle and we prove that it is integrable. Next, by analogy with [2], some framed f (3, ε)-structures 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 53C12, 53B40.
