Abstract
For a noetherian scheme that has an ample family of invertible sheaves, we prove that direct products in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves are not exact unless the scheme is affine. This result can especially be applied to all quasi-projective schemes over commutative noetherian rings. The main tools of the proof are the Gabriel-Popescu embedding and Roos' characterization of Grothendieck categories satisfying Ab6 and Ab4*.
