Universal $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with the Local Lifting Property

Abstract: The Local Lifting Property (LLP) is a localized version of projectivity for completely positive maps between $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. Outside of the nuclear case, very few $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras are known to have the LLP. In this article, we show that the LLP holds for the algebraic contraction $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras introduced by Hadwin and further studied by Loring and Shulman. We also show that the universal Pythagorean $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras introduced by Brothier and Jones have the Lifting Property.
