Abstract: (Elsevier)
In this paper a gauge theory with a classical solution corresponding to a magnetic monopole is quantised. By careful handling of the zero frequency modes it is shown that the monopole is capable of absorbing both momentum and charge. The angular momentum operator is considered and it is shown that if the original theory contains an isodoublet scalar field, the quantum excitations may be half odd integer eigenvalue eigenstates of this operator.
