Abstract

Let DD be a set of smooth vector fields on the smooth manifold MM.It is known that orbits of DD are submanifolds of M. Partition FF of M into orbits of DD is a singular foliation. In this paper we are studying geometry of foliation which is generated by orbits of a family of Killing vector fields.In the case M=R3M=R^3 it is obtained full geometrical classification of FF. Throughout this paper the word "smooth" refers to a class CC^\infty.
