On the real secondary classes of transversely holomorphic foliations
In this paper we study the real secondary classes of transversely holomorphic foliations. We define a homomorphism from the space of the real secondary classes to the space of the complex secondary classes that corresponds to forgetting the transverse holomorphic structure. By using this homomorphism we show, for example, the decomposition of the Godbillon-Vey class into the imaginary part of the Bott class and the first Chern class of the complex normal bundle of the foliation. We show also...
