It is well-known that non-commutative (NC) field theories at theta = infinityare ``equivalent'' to large N matrix field theories to all orders inperturbation theory, due to the dominance of planar diagrams. By formulating aNC field theory on the lattice non-perturbatively and mapping it onto a twistedreduced model, we point out that the above equivalence does not hold if thetranslational symmetry of the NC field theory is broken spontaneously. As anexample we discuss NC scalar field theory, where such a spontaneous symmetrybreakdown has been confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: 12 pages, LaTe
