Abstract: For a number ring $mathcalO$, Borel and Serre proved that $ext{SL}_n(mathcalO)$ is a virtual duality group whose dualizing module is the Steinberg module. They also proved that $ext{GL}_n(mathcalO)$ is a virtual duality group. In contrast to $ext{SL}_n(mathcalO)$, we prove that the dualizing module of $ext{GL}_n(mathcalO)$ is sometimes the Steinberg module, but sometimes instead is a variant that takes into account a sort of orientation. Using this, we obtain vanishing and nonvanishing theorems for the cohomology of $ext{GL}_n(mathcalO)$ in its virtual cohomological dimension.
