Abstract

The SU(2) coherent-state path integral is used to represent the matrix element of a propagator in the SU(2) coherent-state basis. It is argued that the continuum representation of this integral is correct provided the necessary boundary term is taken into account. In the case of the SU(2) dynamical symmetry the path integral is explicitly computed by means of a change of variables, the SU(2) motion of the underlying phase space. The correct stationary-phase expansion for the propagator in terms of the total action including boundary term and classical trajectories is obtained.
