## Abstract We investigate two models in nonโcommutative (NC) field theory by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Even if we start from the Euclidean lattice formulation, such simulations are only feasible after mapping the systems onto dimensionally reduced matrix models. Using this technique, we me

Non-commutative
(NC) field theories can be mapped onto twisted matrix models. This mapping enables their Monte Carlo simulation, where the large N limit of the matrix models describes the continuum limit of NC field theory. First we present numeric results for 2d NC gauge theory of rank 1, which turns out to be renormalizable. The area law for the Wilson loop holds at small area, but at large area we observe a rotating phase, which corresponds t,o an Aharonov-Bohm effect. Next we investigate the NC q54 model in d = 3 and explore its phase diagram.
Our results agree with a conjecture by Gubser and Sondhi in d = 4, who predicted that t,he ordered regime splits into a uniform phase and a phase dominated by stripe patterns.
