Abstract Unusual magnetic textures can be stabilized in f -electron materials due to the interplay between competing magnetic interactions, complex Fermi surfaces, and crystalline anisotropy. Here we investigate CeAuSb ₂ , an f -electron incommensurate antiferromagnet hosting both single- Q and double- Q spin textures as a function of magnetic fields ( H ) applied along the c axis. Experimentally, we map out the field-temperature phase diagram via electrical resistivity and thermal expansion measurements. Supported by calculations of a Kondo lattice model, we attribute the puzzling magnetoresistance enhancement in the double- Q phase to the localization of the electronic wave functions caused by the incommensurate magnetic texture.
