Abstract

We classify all groups and all pairs of absolutely simple Yetter–Drinfeld modules over such that the support of generates , , and the Nichols algebra of the direct sum of and admits a finite root system. As a byproduct, we determine the dimensions of such Nichols algebras, and several new families of finite-dimensional Nichols algebras are obtained. Our main tool is the Weyl groupoid of pairs of absolutely simple Yetter–Drinfeld modules over groups.
