We define a $C^{*}$-algebraic quantization of constant Dirac structures on tori and prove that $O(n,n|\mathbb{Z})$-equivalent structures have Morita equivalent quantizations. This completes and extends from the Poisson case a theorem of Rieffel and Schwarz.

Let $X$ be a complex manifold with strongly pseudoconvex boundary $M$. If $\psi$ is a defining function for $M$, then $-log\psi$ is plurisubharmonic on a neighborhood of $M$ in $X$, and the (real) 2-form $\sigma =i\partial \overline{\partial }(-log\psi )$ is a symplectic structure on the complement of $M$ in a neighborhood of $M$ in $X$; it blows up along $M$. The Poisson structure obtained by inverting $\sigma$ extends smoothly across $M$ and determines a contact structure on $M$ which is the same as the one induced by the complex structure. When $M$ is compact, the Poisson structure near...
