Kagome lattices do not just make nice pictures for TRR proposals, they also constitute a paradigmatic example of frustrated quantum magnetism. In my presentation I will qualitatively explain what the fascinating magnetic properties are by contrasting them with the usual (boring) properties of bipartite antiferromagnets.

Explained with as much mathematics as I can.
