Abstract

We study a topological version of the T-duality relation between pairs consisting of a principal U(1)-bundle equipped with a degree-three integral cohomology class. We describe the homotopy type of a classifying space for such pairs and show that it admits a selfmap which implements a T-duality transformation. We give a simple derivation of a T-duality isomorphism for certain twisted cohomology theories. We conclude with some explicit computations of twisted K-theory groups and discuss an example of iterated T-duality for higher-dimensional torus bundles.
