Abstract
Wigner representations of the rotational motion of a rotator or spherical top, as well as symmetrical and arbitrary tops are presented. The unique form of the transformations to these representations is derived using a set of natural requirements. As a particular case of these representations, a Wigner representation of angular momentum orientation is found. Relations between this representation and those of irreducible tensor operators and coherent states are established. For large angular momentum l>>1, rough equations for the Wigner functions are derived, and it is shown that they are similar to the well known equation for the Wigner function for translational motion.
