## Problem

A group G is called an orientable Poincaré duality group of dimension n over a ring R if it is of type FP over R and Hi (G; RG) = 0 for i ̸= n, while Hn (G; RG) = R as an RG-module, where the action on R is trivial. (Note that G is not required to be finitely presented.) If G is an orientable Poincaré duality group of dimension n over all fields, is it an orientable Poincaré duality group over the integers? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.70\).
