Its transverse Lie structure can be considered as a transverse action $Φ$ of $G$ on $(M,\mathcal F)$; i.e., an ``action'' which is defined up to leafwise homotopies. This $Φ$ induces an action $Φ^*$ of $G$ on the reduced leafwise cohomology $\bar H(\mathcal F)$. By using leafwise Hodge theory, the supertrace of $Φ^*$ can be defined as a distribution $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ on $G$ called the Lefschetz distribution of $\mathcal F$. A distributional version of the Gauss-Bonett theorem is proved, which describes $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ around the identity element. On any small enough open subset of $G$, $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ is described by a distributional version of the Lefschetz trace formula.40 pages, LaTeX 2eDifferential Geometrytext
