Abstract
Spin tomographic symbols of qudit states and spin observables are studied. Spin observables are associated with the functions on a manifold whose points are labeled by the spin projections and sphere S 2 coordinates. The star-product kernel for such functions is obtained in an explicit form and connected with the Fourier transform of characters of the SU(2) irreducible representation. The kernels are shown to be in close relation to the Chebyshev polynomials. Using specific properties of these polynomials, we establish the recurrence relation between the kernels for different spins. Employing the explicit form of the star-product kernel, a sum rule for Clebsch–Gordan and Racah coefficients is derived. Explicit formulas are obtained for the dual tomographic star-product kernel as well as for intertwining kernels which relate spin tomographic symbols and dual tomographic symbols.
