Abstract
The spontaneous symmetry breaking in noncommutative $\lambda\Phi^4$ theory has been analyzed by using the formalism of the effective action for composite operators in the Hartree-Fock approximation. It turns out that there is no phase transition to a constant vacuum expectation of the field and the broken phase corresponds to a nonuniform background. By considering $<\phi(x)>=A \cos(\vec Q \cdot \vec x)$ the generated mass gap depends on the angles among the momenta $\vec k$ and $\vec Q$ and the noncommutativity parameter $\vec\theta$. The order of the transition is not easily determinable in our approximation.
