Aug 5, 2016 at 20:26 comment added Bence Racskó Thank you, you have put it way more succintly than I did. I guess my execuse is I discovered many of this as I wrote up my posts. Just a quick question, your $T$ is the same as my "transversal" $N$ right? And well, the way you put it is obvious, but I have never much heard any reference to Gauss' theorem aside from Riemannian geometry. The form $\int_M\text{div}(X)\mu=\int_{\partial M}i_X\mu$ aside, of course. Such manipulations were quite new to me :) .
