In this talk, we present analytical expressions of the spin-transfer torques on a surface of the magnetic topological insulator by including the higher-order contributions of momentum, k2-term and the hexagonal warping. We obtain six different types of the spin-transfer torque including both the field-like and the damping-like torques; the four of them appear only when the higher-order momentum contributions are included. In addition, we discuss the dynamics of magnetic skyrmions driven by the spin-transfer torques on the surface of the topological insulator. Unlike the skyrmion dynamics in conventional metals, we find that the dynamics significantly depends on the internal structure of magnetic textures.
