Abstract: Field models with n extra spatial dimensions have a larger SO(1,3+n) Lorentz symmetry which is broken down to the standard SO(1,3) four dimensional one by the compactification process. By considering Lorentz violating operators in a 5D supersymmetric Wess-Zumino mo-del, which otherwise conserve the standard four dimensional Poincare invariance, we show that supersymmetry can be restored upon a simple deformation of the supersymmetric transformations. However, supersymmetry is not preserved in the effective 4D theory that arises after compactification when the 5D Lorentz violating operators do not preserve Z2:yightarrowy bulk parity. Our mechanism unveils a possible connection among Lorentz violation and the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. We also show that parity preserving models, on the other hand, do provide well defined supersymmetric KK models.
