Abstract
A duality theory for bundles of C*-algebras whose fibres are twisted transformation group algebras is established. Classical T-duality is obtained as a special case, where all fibres are commutative tori, i.e., untwisted group algebras for Zn. Our theory also includes the bundles considered by Mathai and Rosenberg in their work on noncommutative T-duals, in which they allow twisted group algebras on one side of the duality.
