Abstract

We present a relationship between continued fractions and Weyl groupoids of Cartan schemes of rank two. This allows one to decide easily if a given Cartan scheme of rank two admits a finite root system. We obtain obstructions and sharp bounds for the entries of the Cartan matrices. Cartan matrix, continued fraction, Nichols algebra, Weyl groupoid.
