It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative$\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupledopen string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theoryis fully decoupled from closed strings. Evidence for this conjecture is givenby the absence of physical closed string poles in the non-planar one-loop openstring diagram. The open string theory can be viewed as living in a geometry inwhich space and time coordinates do not commute.Comment: 18 pages, harvmac, 1 figure; v2 20 pages, some discussion added, minor typos corrected, references adde
