The well-known spinorial proof of the positive mass theorem given by E. Witten [W] is based on a subtle use of the Weitzenböck type formula for the hypersurface Dirac-type operator called the Dirac-Witten operator. The mass is given by the limit at infinity of some boundary integral term. In the past two decades, lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the classical Dirac operator on closed Riemannian spin manifolds were intensively studied (see for example, [F, Hi1]). Manifolds with minimal eigenvalues are characterized by the existence of solutions of some overdetermined systems as for Killing spinors. More recently [HMZ], under some natural boundary conditions, such results were extended to the case of Riemannian compact spin manifolds with boundary. Moreover, in [Z3, HZ] (see also [M]) examined the corresponding questions to the Dirac-Witten operator when the ambient manifold is Riemmanian and spin. In this paper, we consider compact (with or without boundary) spacelike hypersurfaces of an (n + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian manifold, whose metric
