Abstract

It was obtained in [5] generalized Lichnerowicz and Obata theorems for Riemannian foliations, which reduce to the results on Riemannian manifolds for the point foliations. Recently in [3], they studied a generalized Obata theorem for Riemannian foliations admitting transversal conformal fields. Each transversal conformal field is a ${\lambda}$-automorphism with ${\lambda}=1-{\frac{2}{q}}$ in the sense of [8]. In the present paper, we extend certain results established in [3] and study Riemannian foliations admitting ${\lambda}$-automorphisms with ${\lambda}{\geq}1-{\frac{2}{q}}$.
