B-mod category equivalence theorem

(Theorem)

Theorem 0.1. B-mod category equivalence theorem.

Let 𝒜 be an Abelian category with arbitrary direct sums (or coproducts). Also, let P in 𝒜 be a compact projective generator and set B = (End𝒜P)op. The functor hom 𝒜(P,−−) yields an equivalence of categories between 𝒜 and the category B − mod.

Proof. The proof proceeds in two steps. At the first step one shows that the functor

F (X ) = hom 𝒜 (P, X )

is fully faithful, and therefore, at the second step one can apply the Abelian category equivalence lemma to yield the sought for equivalence of categories.
