The author introduces a local variant of the lifting property (LLP). He proves that a \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal A\) satisfies LLP iff \(\text{Ext}(S({\mathcal A}))\), where \(S({\mathcal A})\) is the suspension of \(\mathcal A\), is a group. If \(\mathcal A\) has the weak expectation property of Lance (WEP) and if \(\mathcal B\) satisfies LLP, then the maximal and the minimal \(C^*\)-tensor products \({\mathcal A}\otimes^{\max}{\mathcal B}\) and \({\mathcal A}\otimes {\mathcal B}\), respectively, coincide. In particular, this is shown to hold for \({\mathcal A}= {\mathcal B}^{op}\), \(\mathcal B\) an appropriate extension of the suspension of \(C^*_ r(SL_ 2(\mathbb{Z}))\). Since \(\mathcal B\) is not exact this example shows that the class of exact \(C^*\)- algebras is not closed under extensions. There are a lot more results concerning functorial properties of classes of \(C^*\)-algebras satisfying WEP or LLP, or QWEP, i.e. are quotients of a WEP \(C^*\)- algebra. For example, he shows that a finite \(W^*\)-algebra with separable predual has QWEP iff it is a subalgebra of the ultrapower \(R_ \omega\) of the hyperfinite \(II_ 1\)-factor \(R\). This is one of the various relations connecting (more or less long standing) conjectures in the classification theory of \(C^*\)-algebras and on which new light is shed by this work.
