Using semiclassical method combined with stereographic projection approach, we investigate the magnetic dynamics of the skyrmion crystal (SkX), formed in planar ferromagnet with both Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and uniform magnetic field. The topologically non-trivial ground state of SkX is described in stereographic projection by the complex valued function with simple poles at skyrmions’ positions. We use the earlier proposed ansatz for this ground state function in the form of the sum of individual skyrmions. The dynamics follows from the second variation of the classical action. Numerical analysis yields the magnon band structure of tight-binding form in accordance with previously known results. There are two sets of bands, one set with a flat dispersion, topologically trivial and rapidly evolving with magnetic field. Another set is robust to magnetic field, characterized by pronounced dispersion and with the Berry curvature which may be sign-reversal in the Brillouin zone. The developed theory can be straightforwardly generalized for the analysis of magnetic dynamics in topological spin structures of other types.
