Abstract
With the aim of obtaining the classical counterpart of the su(2)-spin system and its quantal fluctuations in the frame of the boson coherent state, the Holstein-Primakoff and Marumori-Yamamura-Tokunaga boson expansions are investigated. The starting point is found in the Schwinger boson representation for the su(2)-spin system and its reformation. Dirac's canonical theory for constraint systems is also applied to the su(2)-spin system. In conclusion, the latter boson expansion is found to be superior to the former with respect to the use of the boson coherent state.
