Abstract: This is a complement to our previous paper on the arxiv on quantum expanders and geometry of operator spaces. We show that there is a non-exact $C^{*}$-algebra that is 1-subexponential, and we give several other complements to the results of that paper. Our example can be described very simply using random matrices: Let $X_j^{(m)}midj=1,2,\mathrm{...}$ be an i.i.d. sequence of random $mimesm$-matrices distributed according to the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). For each $j$ let $u_j(omega)$ be the block direct sum defined by ${\displaystyle }$u_j(omega)= oplus_{mge 1} X_j^{(m)}(omega)in oplus_{mge 1} M_m.${\displaystyle }$ Then for almost every $omega$ the $C^{*}$-algebra generated by $u_j(omega)midj=1,2,\mathrm{...}$ is 1-subexponential but is not exact. The GUE is a matrix model for the semi-circular distribution. We can also use instead the analogous circular model.
