Abstract: Noncommutative U(1) gauge theory on the Moyal-Weyl space $$ is regularized by approximating the noncommutative spatial slice $$ by a fuzzy sphere of matrix size $L$ and radius $R$ . Classically we observe that the field theory on the fuzzy space $$ reduces to the field theory on the Moyal-Weyl plane $$ in the flattening continuum planar limits $R,Llongrightarrowinfty$ where $R^2/L^{2q}simeq{heta}^2/4^q$ and $q>3/2$ . The effective noncommutativity parameter is found to be given by ${heta}_{eff}^{2}sim2{heta}^2(fracL2{)}^{2q-1}$ and thus it corresponds to a strongly noncommuting space. In the quantum theory it turns out that this prescription is also equivalent to a dimensional reduction of the model where the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory in 4 dimensions is shown to be equivalent in the large $L$ limit to an ordinary $O(M)$ non-linear sigma model in 2 dimensions where $Msim3L^2$ . The Moyal-Weyl model defined this way is also seen to be an ordinary renormalizable theory which can be solved exactly using the method of steepest descents . More precisely we find for a fixed renormalization scale $mu$ and a fixed renormalized coupling constant $g_r^2$ an $O(M)-$symmetric mass, for the different components of the sigma field, which is non-zero for all values of $g_r^2$ and hence the $O(M)$ symmetry is never broken in this solution . We obtain also an exact representation of the beta function of the theory which agrees with the known one-loop perturbative result .
