Djament's Problem on Locally Noetherian Grothendieck Categories

Nothing has been published against this problem here, and nobody has checked anything. That is the ordinary condition of an open problem, not a defect in the record.

Statement

Djament asked whether a Grothendieck category satisfying suitable finiteness and exactness conditions must be equivalent to a module category. In the locally noetherian case the answer is no: there is a Grothendieck category with a noetherian generator satisfying AB4* that is not equivalent to a module category, built as a Gabriel quotient of a module category over an endomorphism ring of Herbera, Prihoda and Wiegand.

Context

the locally noetherian case; whether such a category can fail to admit a projective generator is left open as Problem 1.3

A named problem about when Grothendieck categories are module categories, restated as Problem 5.13 by Martini, Parra, Saorin and Virili.

    The disclosure attributes two specific things. The tool suggested examining the example in Section 8 of Herbera-Prihoda-Wiegand as a possible source of a negative answer, which is the example the paper is built on, and it suggested a proof strategy. The author independently checked that strategy and supplied the proof.
