We analyze in detail the quantization of a simple noncommutative model of spontaneous symmetry breaking in zero dimensions taking into account the noncommutative setting seriously. The connection to the counting argument of Feynman diagrams of the corresponding theory in four dimensions is worked ou

Abstract
This is an exposition of joint work with S. Doplicher, K. Fredenhagen, and Gh. Piacitelli [1]. The violation of unitarity found in quantum field theory on noncommutative spacetimes in the context of the soβcalled modified Feynman rules is linked to the notion of time ordering implicitly used in the assumption that perturbation theory may be done solely in terms of Feynman propagators. Two alternative approaches which do not entail a violation of unitarity are sketched. An outlook upon our more recent work is given.

A uniformly convergent sequence of unitary operators is defined which transforms the sequence of cut-off Hamiltonians, arranged in order of increasing cut-off energy, to a sequence of operators converging strongly on a dense set of states.
## Abstract This is an exposition of joint work with S. Doplicher, K. Fredenhagen, and G. Piacitelli on field theory on the noncommutative Minkowski space [1]. The limit of coinciding points is modified compared to ordinary field theory in a suitable way which allows for the definition of soβcalled
## Abstract We give the main ideas our proof that the noncommutative Ο^4^βmodel is renormalisable to all orders. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains necessarily an additional term: an harmonic oscillator potential in the free field action
