Abstract

Conical geometries provide the standard description of disclinations, but they concentrate the curvature at a singular apex. We introduce a Yukawa-type regularization that replaces this singularity by a smooth curvature distribution while preserving the asymptotic topology of the defect. Exact expressions are obtained for the conformal factor, curvature, and enclosed topological charge. The resulting geometry exhibits a scale-dependent topological charge and a corresponding radius-dependent holonomy, establishing a direct connection between distributed curvature and geometric phases. We further investigate the dynamics of massless Dirac quasiparticles in this background and show that the regularized core modifies the spin connection while preserving the asymptotic topological signature of the defect. These results provide a finite-core extension of the conventional conical description and offer a natural framework for studying geometric and topological effects in graphene-like systems.
