Generalized Newton transformation and its applications to extrinsic geometry
arXiv:1211.4754
Abstract
In this article we introduce a generalization of the Newton transformation to the case of a system of endomorphisms. We show that it can be used in the context of extrinsic geometry of foliations and distributions yielding new integral formulas containing generalized extrinsic curvatures.
