A Generalization of Integral Invariants

E. Vidal Abascal
1959 Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society  
The integral invariants in the sense of Poincar6-Cartan refer to integral expressions in connection with the integral curves of a system of ordinary differential equations of first order in n variables. The object of this note is to generalize the notion of integral invariant to the integral varieties of a completely integrable system of Pfaff, as well as to extend to these varieties the integral relation of invariance given for the system of curves by Lichnerowicz [3],1 and other theorems
