  "abstract": "We investigate a geometric mechanism for mass generation in a codimension-two hedgehog braneworld. A massless particle propagating in the bulk acquires an effective four-dimensional mass through its motion along the compact angular extra dimension, yielding a dynamically determined Kaluza-Klein spectrum after canonical quantization. While the bosonic sector exhibits no radial confinement, extending the analysis to N = 1, 2 spinning-particle models shows that the spin-curvature coupling modifies the effective potential and introduces a level-dependent localization pattern for the Kaluza-Klein modes. The results establish a particle-mechanics realization of geometric mass generation in flux-supported codimension-two braneworlds and highlight the interplay between bulk geometry, spin, and the effective four-dimensional mass spectrum.",
