Oct 27, 2022 at 5:28 comment added A. J. Pan-Collantes Yes, I mean foliations which are described, locally, by a constant rank involutive distribution. This excludes "singular foliations", which are described by submodules of $\mathfrak X(M)$ whose rank can "go down" in some points (the singular points).
Oct 26, 2022 at 22:40 comment added Matthew Kvalheim @TomGoodwillie by “regular” I mean that the leaves of the foliation have constant dimension, i.e. the foliation comes from an involutive tangent subbundle via the Frobenius theorem. That is the case I am interested in. I am guessing that what A.J. means by “regular point” is that leaves have constant dimension in a neighborhood of that point.
Oct 26, 2022 at 20:29 comment added Tom Goodwillie "Regular" in what sense?
Oct 26, 2022 at 19:38 comment added A. J. Pan-Collantes That's the point, I think I can prove a local result for regular points...

Oct 26, 2022 at 18:56 comment added Matthew Kvalheim @A.J.Pan-Collantes I am indeed assuming a regular foliation, but I would like to know a "global" answer to my question. (I already know how to produce at least one "local" result.)
Oct 26, 2022 at 17:25 comment added A. J. Pan-Collantes Are you assuming a regular foliation? Are you ok with a "local result"?
Oct 26, 2022 at 13:24 comment added Matthew Kvalheim @user126154 thanks - I clarified in Edit 2.
Oct 26, 2022 at 13:23 comment added Matthew Kvalheim @TomGoodwillie thanks - I added Edit 1 with an explanation.

Oct 26, 2022 at 10:30 comment added user126154 I think you should specify better what exactly you are esking for: you say that you would like "a proof, specific reference of a counterexample". Which is the exact statement you would like to be proved or disproved?
Oct 26, 2022 at 0:15 comment added Tom Goodwillie Each leaf of a foliation admits a manifold structure such that the inclusion into $M$ is a one-to-one immersion. What do you mean by "weakly embedded submanifold" or "weakly embedded initial submanifold"?
