In the momentum representation, the position operator acts on the wavefunction as
1) ##X_i = i\frac{\partial}{\partial p_i}##
Now we want under rotations $U(R)$ the position operator to transform as
##U(R)^{-1}\mathbf{X}U(R) = R\mathbf{X}##
How does one show that the position operator as represented in 1) indeed transforms like this?
