A Grothendieck category with a noetherian generator and exact products that is not a module category
Abstract
We construct a Grothendieck category that has a noetherian generator, satisfies AB4*, and is not equivalent to a module category. This gives a negative answer to Djament's problem. The category is obtained as a Gabriel quotient of a module category over the endomorphism ring appearing in the work of Herbera, P\v{r}\'{\i}hoda, and Wiegand. The proof relies on the trace criterion established by Martini, Parra, Saor\'{\i}n, and Virili.
