Abstract
The general form of chiral terms associated with deformation of a ferromagnet is determined. The possibility of a transition from the helical state to the vortex state is demonstrated for a ferromagnetic rod subjected to elastic torsional strain. In the case of a single screw dislocation, the formation of the skyrmion state due to elastic strains and the helical distribution of magnetization induced by strains in the dislocation core is indicated. The conditions in which a transition from one chiral magnetization distribution to another distribution in an ensemble of identical dislocations are determined.
