Recently Rizzo studied the Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in a brane
scenario with one extra dimension where he found a non-zero mass for the
four-dimensional graviton. This leads to the conclusion that five-dimensional
models with LIV are not phenomenologically viable. In this work we re-examine
the issue of Lorentz Invariance Violation in the context of higher dimensional
theories. We show that a six-dimensional geometry describing a string-like
defect with a bulk-dependent cosmological constant can yield a massless 4D
graviton, if we allow the cosmological constant variation along the bulk, and
thus can provides a phenomenologically viable solution for the gauge hierarchy
problem.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Physics Letters
