Topological protection precludes a continuous deformation between topologically inequivalent configurations in a continuum. Motivated by this concept, magnetic skyrmions, topologically nontrivial spin textures, are expected to exhibit the…

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by non-polar chiral point groups ($D_2$, $D_3$, $D_4$, $D_6$, $T$, $O$). Based on the symmetry…
