Abstract

We prove that uniform Roe C*-algebras C*uX associated to some expander graphs X coming from discrete groups with property (τ) are not K-exact. In particular, we show that this is the case for the expander obtained as Cayley graphs of a sequence of alternating groups (with appropriately chosen generating sets).
