Title: A PD4 group without an aspherical manifold model.

Abstract: We construct a finitely presented integral Poincaré duality group of dimension four that has a finite classifying space but is not the fundamental group of any closed aspherical topological four-manifold. This gives a negative answer to Wall's manifold-realization question in dimension four.
