The problem we study is a generalization of a problem first solved by Tonolo (6), then generalized successively by Schouten (5), Nijenhuis (4), Haantjes (3), and Nijenhuis-Frölicher (2). The Tonolo- Schouten approach is distinct from that of Nijenhuis-Haantjes-Frölicher in the sense that the former consider the problem on a Riemannian space, while the latter consider it on a manifold without any further structure.

The object of investigation is the integrability of the distribution θ of vector subspaces θP of the tangent space Tp to a manifold M, when θP is intrinsically related to a given field h on M, of linear transformations hp on Tv. The research has so far been restricted to certain types of h.
