As the length scale of a two-dimensional skyrmion crystal approaches the lattice constant of its host material, topological gaps may form in the associated electronic system. However, the smooth texture approximation for the usual geometric approach of emergent magnetic fields is no longer satisfied. Instead, we adopt a fully algebraic view to describe a class of multi-q textures [1], including skyrmion crystals, and apply noncommutative K-theory to compute all admissible Chern numbers. As a central application, we tune the texture parameters, creating discontinuous jumps in the real-space winding number [2,3] for which we observe the relation with Chern numbers of the electronic spectrum. In conclusion, our work gives an exhaustive classification of the electronic state topology in skyrmion crystals and can form the basis for a sophisticated design of topological electronic states in more general magnetic multi-q systems.
