The aim of this work is to study the global structure of the category F of functors between F_2-vector spaces, particularly the artinian conjecture, which is equivalent to the locally noetherian character of F. We show that the tensor product between a finite functor and two copies of the standard projective functor F is noetherian. For this, we introduce new categories, the grassmannian functor categories. They permit to formulate a very strong form of the artinian conjecture, describing the Krull filtration of F. Our generalized simplicity theorem allows to show the above result about the structure or P tensor 2 tensor F (with F finite), that we have also proved using internal hom functors and considerations from modular representation th...
