This is a survey on Nichols algebras of diagonal type with finite dimension, or more generally with arithmetic root system. The knowledge of these algebras is the cornerstone of the classification program of pointed Hopf algebras with finite dimension, or finite Gelfand–Kirillov dimension; and their structure should be indispensable for the understanding of the representation theory, the computation of the various cohomologies, and many other aspects of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras. These Nichols algebras were classified in Heckenberger (Adv Math 220:59–124, 2009) as a notable application of the notions of Weyl groupoid and generalized root system (Heckenberger in Invent Math 164:175–188, 2006; Heckenberger and Yamane in Math Z 259:255–276, 2008). In the first part of this monograph, we give an overview of the theory of Nichols algebras of diagonal type. This includes a discussion of the notion of generalized root system and its appearance in the contexts of Nichols algebras of diagonal type and (modular) Lie superalgebras. In the second and third part, we describe for each Nichols algebra in the list of Heckenberger (2009) the following basic information: the generalized root system; its label in terms of Lie theory; the defining relations found in Angiono (J Eur Math Soc 17:2643–2671, 2015; J Reine Angew Math 683:189–251, 2013); the PBW-basis; the dimension or the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension; the associated Lie algebra as in Andruskiewitsch et al. (Bull Belg Math Soc Simon Stevin 24(1):15–34, 2017). Indeed the second part deals with Nichols algebras related to Lie algebras and superalgebras in arbitrary characteristic, while the third contains the information on Nichols algebras related to Lie algebras and superalgebras only in small characteristic, and the few examples yet unidentified in terms of Lie theory.
