This paper addresses the problem of the rolling motion of a sphere with axisymmetric
mass distribution on a horizontal plane. It is assumed that the sphere does not slip
as it rolls in the direction of the projection of the symmetry axis onto the supporting
plane, and that there is no spinning relative to the vertical. For the system under
consideration, integrals of motion are found, a reduction to a system with one degree
of freedom is performed, and the equations of motion of the reduced system are
written in Hamiltonian form. A classification of possible types of motion according
to the values of first integrals of motion and mass-geometric parameters is presented,
and the singularities of the system and the dynamical effects observed near them
are described. Special attention is given to the particular case of a balanced sphere
for which the bifurcation diagram in the space of first integrals is fairly simple and
illustrative, but retains its singularities associated with the degeneracy of the system
of nonholonomic constraints.
