Abstract

The three dimensional Chern-Simons theory on \rrθ2×\rr\rr^2_{\theta}\times \rr is studied. Considering the gauge transformations under the group elements which are going to one at infinity, we show that under arbitrary (finite) gauge transformations action changes with an integer multiple of 2π2\pi {\it if}, the level of noncommutaitive Chern-Simons is {\it quantized}. We also briefly discuss the case of the noncommutaitve torus and some other possible extensions.
