We define the curvature of the distribution as the R-bilinear skew-symmetric map
where θ is the structure 1-form of the distribution. Indeed, ω is C∞(M)-linear, so it comes from a bundle map
([Vitagliano 2017] exercise 3.6)
When ω=0 we have that D is involutive distribution. If it has full rank it is called completely non-integrable.
