Abstract

We extend the notion of T-duality to manifolds endowed with non-principal torus actions. The singularities of the torus action are controlled by a certain Lie algebroid, called the elliptic tangent bundle. Using this Lie algebroid, we explain how certain invariant generalized complex structures can be transported via T-duality. Along the way, we use the elliptic tangent bundle to define connections for these torus action, and give new insight to the classification of such actions by Haefliger-Salem.
