Abstract: Let $Z$ be a principal circle bundle over a base manifold $M$ equipped with an integral closed $3$-form $H$ called the flux. Let $widehatZ$ be the T-dual circle bundle over $M$ with flux $widehatH$. Han and Mathai recently constructed the $mathbb{Z}_2$-graded space of exotic differential forms $$. It has an additional $mathbbZ$-grading such that the degree zero component coincides with the space of invariant twisted differential forms $$, and it admits a differential that extends the twisted differential $d_{widehatH}=d+widehatH$. The T-duality isomorphism $$ of Bouwknegt, Evslin and Mathai extends to an isomorphism $$. In this paper, we introduce the exotic chiral de Rham complex $$ which contains $$ as the weight zero subcomplex. We give an isomorphism $$ where $$ denotes the twisted chiral de Rham complex of $Z$, which chiralizes the above T-duality map.
