Manifolds that are oriented with respect to a ring spectrum E satisfy a version of Poincar茅 duality in E-(co)homology. A standard tool for computing these (co)homology groups is the Atiyah鈥揌irzebruch听spectral sequence, which comes in both homological and cohomological forms. We briefly discuss how the notion of E-orientability extends naturally to Poincar茅 duality complexes, and explain how Poincar茅 duality gives rise to an isomorphism between the homological and cohomological Atiyah鈥揌irzebruch spectral sequences.
