Abstract: We show that for a rationally inessential orientable closed $n$-manifold $M$ whose fundamental group $pi$ is a duality group the macroscopic dimension of its universal cover is strictly less than $n$:${\displaystyle }$ dim_{MC}Wi M<n.${\displaystyle }$ As a corollary we obtain the following 0.1 Theorem. The inequality $di{m}_{MC}WiM<n$ holds for the universal cover of a closed spin $n$-manifold $M$ with a positive scalar curvature metric if the fundamental group $p{i}_1(M)$ is a virtual duality group virtually satisfying the Analytic Novikov Conjecture.
