No mention of the earlierSO3 results known to Wigner appears in the monograph by L. Nachbin:The Haar Integral (Princeton, N.J., 1965), a work that otherwise proyides a lucid and comprehensive review of Haar measure properties. A modern method for computingSO3 and other Haar measures is given byG. Rosen:Formulations of Classical and Quantum Dynamical Theory (New York, N.Y., 1969), p. 110–115.
