Abstract: We study planar noncommutative theories such that the spatial coordinates hatx1, hatx2 verify a commutation relation of the form: [hatx1,hatx2]=iheta(hatx1,hatx2). Starting from the operatorial representation for dynamical variables in the algebra generated by hatx1 and hatx2, we introduce a noncommutative product of functions corresponding to a specific operator-ordering prescription. We define derivatives and traces, and use them to construct scalar-field actions. The resulting expressions allow one to consider situations where an expansion in powers of heta and its derivatives is not necessarily valid. In particular, we study in detail the case when heta vanishes along a linear region. We show that, in that case, a scalar field action generates a boundary term, localized around the line where heta vanishes.
