  In systems with small spin-orbit coupling, current-induced torques on the
magnetization require inhomogeneous magnetization textures. For large
spin-orbit coupling, such torques exist even without gradients in the
magnetization direction. Here, we consider current-induced torques in
ferromagnetic metals with both Rashba spin-orbit coupling and inhomogeneous
magnetization. We first phenomenologically construct all torques that are
allowed by the symmetries of the system, to first order in
magnetization-direction gradients and electric field. Second, we use a
Boltzmann approach to calculate the spin torques that arise to second order in
the spin-orbit coupling. We apply our results to current-driven domain walls
and find that the domain-wall mobility is strongly affected by torques that
result from the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and inhomogeneity of the
magnetization texture.
