Title:	Aspherical groups and manifolds with extreme properties
Abstract:	I prove that every finitely generated group with recursive aspherical presentation complex embeds into a group with finite aspherical presentation complex. Using Gromov's random groups and the Davis' trick, this implies existence of aspherical manifolds whose fundamental groups do not coarsely embed into Hilbert spaces, do not satisfy property A, have infinite asymptotic dimension and do not satisfy the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients.
