Summary: We show that the T-duality transform of Bouwknegt, Evslin and Mathai [P. Bouwknegt et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 249, No. 2, 383–415 (2004; Zbl 1062.81119)] applies to determine isomorphisms of certain current algebras and their associated vertex algebras on topologically distinct T-dual spacetimes compactified to circle bundles with \(H\)-flux.
