260Since P is finite Hom A (P, P ) (X) ≃ Hom A(P, P(X) ) andHom A (P, P ) (M) ≃ Hom A(P, P(M) ) and then we have an exact sequence in Mod-B(273) Hom A(P, P(X) ) f−→ Hom A(P, P(M) ) −→ Q → 0where Q = Coker (f). Then Q ≃ M. Since Hom A (P, −) is full (and faithful) wehaveHom A (A, A ′ ) ≃ Hom Mod-B (Hom A (P, A) , Hom A (P, A ′ )) ,hence there exists a unique morphism g : P (X) → P (M) in A such that f =Hom A (P, −) (g). Let us c<strong>on</strong>sider in A(274) P (X) g−→ P (M) −→ X → 0where X = Coker (g). Since P is projective, Hom A (P, −) is exact, and applying itto (274) we get the exact sequenceHom A(P, P(X) ) f=Hom A (P,g)−→ Hom A(P, P(M) ) → Hom A (P, X) → 0.From this sequence and (273) we deduce that Q ≃ Hom A (P, X) where X =Coker (g) ∈ A.C<strong>on</strong>versely, let us assume that F : A → Mod-B is an equivalence of categories. LetG : Mod-B → A be its inverse equivalence. Since B is a progenerator and G is anequivalence of categories, by Propositi<strong>on</strong> A.19 1) and 6), we deduce that G (B) is aprogenerator in A. Moreover we haveB ≃ Hom Mod-B (B, B) ≃ Hom A (G (B) , G (B)) .Observe that G is a left adjoint to F and thus we haveHom A (G (B) , −) ≃ Hom Mod-B (B, F−) .Since Hom Mod-B (B, F−) ≃ F as functors, we deduce thatF ≃ Hom A (G (B) , −)where G (B) is a progenerator in A.□Theorem A.2<str<strong>on</strong>g>2.</str<strong>on</strong>g> Let A be an abelian category. There exists an equivalence F : A →Mod-B, where B is a ring, if and <strong>on</strong>ly if A c<strong>on</strong>tains a progenerator P and arbitrarycoproducts of copies of P . If F is an equivalence, there exists a progenerator P inA such that Hom A (P, P ) ≃ B and F ≃ Hom A (P, −).Proof. Assume first that A c<strong>on</strong>tains a progenerator P and arbitrary coproducts ofcopies of P . Let B = Hom A (P, P ) and c<strong>on</strong>sider the functor Hom A (P, −) : A → Ab.Let us endow any abelian group Hom A (P, A) , for every A ∈ A, with a right B-module structure given by the compositi<strong>on</strong> with morphisms of Hom A (P, P ) = B.This means we have the following mapHom A (P, A) × Hom A (P, P ) → Hom A (P, A)(h, ξ) ↦→ h ◦ ξ.For every morphism f : A → B in A we define a morphism in Mod-B as followsHom A (P, f) : Hom A (P, A) → Hom A (P, B)
