The finite-root-system conjecture for Nichols algebras of diagonal type

Let VV be a braided vector space of diagonal type, and let B(V)\mathscr{B}(V) be its Nichols algebra. The root system of B(V)\mathscr{B}(V) is the root system arising from its restricted PBW basis and associated Weyl groupoid. Finite-root-system conjecture. If B(V)\mathscr{B}(V) has finite Gelfand--Kirillov dimension, then its root system is finite.

This conjecture relates the growth of Nichols algebras of diagonal type to the finiteness of their Weyl-groupoid root systems. The converse implication follows from a routine argument involving a PBW basis, but the stated implication remains open.
