Integral with respect to the uniform measure on the sphere
I would need a hint to solve the following problem.
Let $d varphi$ be denote the normalised uniform measure on $mathbb{S}^{N-1}$, which is the $N-1$ dimensional sphere, where $N in mathbb{N}_{>0}$. How to prove that,
for arbitrary non-negative integers, $n_1$, $ldots$, $n_N$, we have that
$$
int_{mathbb{S}^{N-1}} d varphi , , {big ( varphi^1 big )}^{2 n_1} ldots
{big (varphi^N big )}^{2 n_N} =
frac{ Gamma(N/2)}{2^n Gamma(n + N/2)} prod_{i=1}^{N} (2n_i - 1)!!,
$$
where $n= n_1 + ldots + n_N$ and we used the notation $varphi =( varphi^1, ldots, varphi^N) in mathbb{R}^N$.
Here $Gamma(x)$ is the *Gamma function" and "!!" is the double factorial. These objects are defined here:
