The author clarifies the relationships among the conditions for \(C^*\)-algebras stated in the title of the paper. The introduction of these conditions was inspired by the work of Gromov and Connes on discrete groups, growth, and Fredholm modules. For a countably infinite discrete group \(G\) with reduced group \(C^*\)-algebra \(C^*_r(G)\), the following conditions are known to be equivalent: \(G\) satisfies Folner's conditions; \(C^*_r(G)\) is nuclear; \(C^*_r(G)\) satisfies the strong Folner-Voiculescu condition; \(C^*_r(G)\) is weakly filtrable.
