I. If~ is a continuous foliation of a compact Riemannian manifold M with sufficient smooth leaves, then to the Markov process of Brownian motion on the leaves of~ with the induced metric, corresponds the semigroup of operators@~/(x)=% I (g) pt (x, g) dy, where p is the fundamental solution of the heat equation on the leaf L~ x. Measures on M, invariant relative to the semigroup {@ t}, are called harmonic. Harmonicity of a measure is equivalent to its conditional measures on ae leaves being absolutely continuous with respect to the Riemannian volume of the leaf, and the density is a harmonic function on the leaf. If for ae leaves, the densities are constant, then the measure is termed fully invariant [I]. Integration of the Riemannian volumes on the leaves over the transversals gives an isomorphism of the cones of the holonomically invariant and fully invariant measures of the foliation [2, 3].For our purposes, the conditions of compactness and of the presence of a global Riemannian structure on M are superfluous. We will consider below that~ is a measurable Riemannian foliation [3] of the space M with an ergodic probabilistic harmonic measure m~ and the leaves of~ have bounded geometry.
