Abstract

We obtain a 3-brane solution with localized gravity in D=6 in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term. If the extra dimensions are compactified with the T²/(Z₂\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fiZ₂) orbifold symmetry, the mass hierarchy between the Planck scale and the weak scale can be explained by putting our Universe at the positive tension TeV brane located at the orbifold fixed point.
