abstract
Motivated by experiments on Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ samples, we studied and classified the symmetric spin liquids on triangular lattice. We identified 63 $Z_2$ spin liquids, 30 U(1) spin liquids and 2 SU(2) spin liquids. All those spin liquids have the same symmetry but different quantum orders. We calculated the spin spectral functions in some simple spin liquids and compared them to the one measured by experiments on Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$. We find that the $U1C\tau _{+}^0\tau_{-}^0\tau^1$ spin liquid or one of its relatives is consistent with observed properties of the spin liquid state in Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$. We discussed the fine distinctions among those possible spin liquids and the spin liquids proposed using slave-fermion approach, so that future experiments can determine which spin liquids actually describe the spin state in Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$.

Spin dynamics of an easy-plane Dirac spin liquid in a frustrated XY model: Application to honeycomb cobaltates
A Dirac spin liquid with random-phase-approximation corrections reproduces the phase diagram and spin dynamics, including THz and neutron signatures, of the frustrated honeycomb J1-J3 XY model relevant to cobaltates.
