The $p$--modulus ${\rm mod}_p(\mathcal{F})$ of a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$ is a generalization of extremal length of plane curves introduced by L. Ahlfors. We study the variation $t\mapsto{\rm mod}_p(\mathcal{F}_t)$ of the modulus. In particular, we consider product of moduli of orthogonal foliations.
We investigate the properties of a modulus of a foliation on a Riemannian manifold. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an extremal function and state some of its properties. We obtain the integral formula which, in a sense, combines the integral over the manifold with integral over the leaves. We state the relation between an extremal function and the geometry of distribution orthogonal to a foliation.
