In mathematics, a p-dimensional foliation is a partition of a manifold into submanifolds, all of the same dimension p, locally modeled on the decomposition of Rn into the p-dimensional planes cut out by the equations x p + 1 = a p + 1 , … , x n = a n {\displaystyle x_{p+1}=a_{p+1},\ldots ,x_{n}=a_{n}} . The submanifolds are called the leaves of the foliation.
