Jun 11, 2013 at 16:31 comment added Igor Belegradek By "random groups with expanders" I meant the groups constructed by adding relations to a free group randomly according to edges of a expander. Sloppy language...

Jun 11, 2013 at 16:13 comment added Misha @Igor: A hyperbolic group can never contain an expander. On the other hand, you are right, I somehow forgot about Gromov's examples. I will modify my answer.
Jun 11, 2013 at 15:54 comment added Igor Belegradek In fact, these hyperbolic groups aren't fundamental groups of complete nonpositivaly curved (Riemannian) manifolds.
Jun 11, 2013 at 15:52 comment added Igor Belegradek Misha, there are torsion-free hyperbolic groups that aren't the fundamental group of a manifold in Class 1. Namely, Gromov's random groups with expanders, see Naor-Silberman's theorem 1.1 in arxiv.org/abs/1005.4084.
