Terminology for a foliation that is only tangentially smooth
I'd like to get some information and references, starting with a name, for the following quite common situation, for a smooth (i.e. $C^\infty$) $n$-manifold $M$. A partition $\mathcal{L}$ of $M$ is ...

Angle between two subspaces
Let $f:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism on a compact riemannian manifold $M$.In the definition of a hyperbolic set we know that for all $x\in M$ there is a splitting of tangent space
$T_xM=E^s(x)\oplus E^...
