We prove the existence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem fornoncommutative nonlinear wave equations in arbitrary even spatial dimensionswhere the noncommutativity is only in the spatial directions. We find that forexistence there are no conditions on the degree of the nonlinearity providedthe potential is positive. We furthermore prove that nonlinear noncommutativewaves have infinite propagation speed, i.e., if the initial conditions at time0 have a compact support then for any positive time the support of the solutioncan be arbitrarily large.Comment: 15 pages, references adde
