摘要
An integral formula for symmetric functions of curvature of distributions on closed constant nonnegative sectional curvature spaces is proved. The distributions under consideration are orthogonal to a totally geodesic foliation and the main theorem extends a previous result concerning the total curvature of codimension-one foliations.
