A description of different phases of two dimensional magnetic insulators is given. The first chapters are devoted to the understanding of the symmetry breaking mechanism in the semi-classical Neel phases. Order by disorder selection is illustrated. All these phases break SU(2) symmetry and are gapless phases with magnon excitations. Different gapful quantum phases exist in two dimensions: the Valence Bond Crystal phases (VBC) which have long range order in local S=0 objects (either dimers in the usual Valence Bond acception or quadrumers..), but also Resonating Valence Bond Spin Liquids (RVBSL), which have no long range order in any local order parameter and an absence of susceptibility to any local probe. VBC have gapful S = 0, or 1 excitations, RVBSL on the contrary have deconfined spin-1/2 excitations. Examples of these two kinds of quantum phases are given in chapters 4 and 5. A special class of magnets (on the kagome or pyrochlore lattices) has an infinite local degeneracy in the classical limit: they give birth in the quantum limit to different behaviors which are illustrated and questionned in the last lecture.

Spiral Phase and Phase Diagram of the $S$=1/2 XXZ Model on the Shastry-Sutherland Lattice
A new incommensurate spiral phase is found in the S=1/2 XXZ Shastry-Sutherland model at small anisotropy, while the empty-plaquette phase narrows as anisotropy grows.

Topological characterization of magnon-polaron bands and thermal Hall conductivity in a frustrated kagome antiferromagnet
Spin-phonon coupling to optical phonons drives multiple topological phase transitions in the magnon-polaron bands of a frustrated kagome antiferromagnet, changing Chern numbers and thermal Hall conductivity.
