We study Wigner function value statistics of classically chaotic quantum mapson compact 2D phase space. We show that the Wigner function statistics of arandom state is a Gaussian, with the mean value becoming negligible compared tothe width in the semi-classical limit. Using numerical example of quantizedsawtooth map we demonstrate that the relaxation of time-dependent Wignerfunction statistics, starting from a coherent initial state, takes place on alogarithmically short log (hbar) time scale.
