Does there exist any intrinsic characterization of additive categories equivalent to $\operatorname{Ex}(A,Ab)$, that is, of exact functors from a small abelian category $A$ into abelian groups? Any hints (including sufficient conditions) would be very welcome!

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you very much! M. Prest has written several papers and books on these (definable) categories. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2021 at 17:52
