Abstract
We present a general theory of quasiprobability distributions on phase spaces of quantum systems whose dynamical symmetry groups are (finite-dimensional) Lie groups. The family of distributions on a phase space is postulated to satisfy the Stratonovich - Weyl correspondence with a generalized traciality condition. The corresponding family of the Stratonovich - Weyl kernels is constructed explicitly. In the presented theory we use the concept of generalized coherent states, that brings physical insight into the mathematical formalism.
