Abstract: We introduce a matrix model for noncommutative gravity, based on the gauge group U(2)otimesU(2). The vierbein is encoded in a matrix Ymu, having values in the coset space U(4)/(U(2)otimesU(2)), while the spin connection is encoded in a matrix Xmu, having values in U(2)otimesU(2). We show how to recover the Einstein equations from the hetao0 limit of the matrix model equations of motion. We stress the necessity of a metric tensor, which is a covariant representation of the gauge group in order to set up a consistent second order formalism. We finally define noncommutative gravitational instantons as generated by U(2)otimesU(2) valued quasi-unitary operators acting on the background of the Matrix model. Some of these solutions have naturally self-dual or anti-self-dual spin connections.
