Topological T-duality for Real and equivariant circle bundles

Let XX be a space with a Z/2\mathbb{Z}/2-action. A T-dual pair consists of a pair (E,h)(E,h), where Z/2\mathbb{Z}/2 acts equivariantly on the circle bundle pi:EXpi:E\to X and hH±3(E)h\in H^3_\pm(E), and a pair (E^,h^)(\hat E,\hat h), where E^X\hat E\to X is a Real circle bundle and h^H±3(E^)\hat h\in H^3_\pm(\hat E). Write pp and p^\hat p for the maps from a common correspondence space to EE and E^\hat E, respectively, and let c1Z/2(E)HZ/22(X)c_1^{\mathbb{Z}/2}(E)\in H^2_{\mathbb{Z}/2}(X) denote the equivariant Chern class of EE. Topological T-duality conjecture. For every such XX, every pair (E,h)(E,h) has a pair (E^,h^)(\hat E,\hat h) satisfying

c1R(E^)=πh,c1Z/2(E)=π^h^,c1Z/2(E)c1R(E^)=0,c_1^R(\hat E)=\pi_*h,\qquad c_1^{\mathbb{Z}/2}(E)=\hat\pi_*\hat h,\qquad c_1^{\mathbb{Z}/2}(E)\cup c_1^R(\hat E)=0,

and

ph=p^h^.p^*h=\hat p^*\hat h.

Conversely, every pair (E^,h^)(\hat E,\hat h) has such a pair (E,h)(E,h), and the two assignments induce mutually inverse maps on isomorphism classes of pairs. This proposes a duality interchanging Real and equivariant circle bundles while relating their twisted cohomological data; the paper presents it as a possible topological T-duality rather than an established theorem.
