Weyl integration formula for SU(2)

ID: weyl-integration-formula-for-su-2

For a class function on SU(2) and normalized Haar measure, the displayed formula reduces a group integral to its conjugacy-class angle. The weight follows by identifying SU(2) with the unit sphere in four real dimensions: writing a unit quaternion as gives spherical volume proportional to . Since , normalization gives .
