Abstract
The Hamiltonian for the quantized non-Abelian monopole is found using the Dirac constraint method. This Hamiltonian is correct to O(Latin small letter h with stroke) since we do not consider operator ordering. We choose the covariant background-gauge condition for the fluctuations. The collective-coordinate gauge constraints are chosen to give canonical commutation relations. We find that the constraints chosen by Abouelsaood lead to noncanonical commutation relations.
