Initial data sets with dominant energy condition admitting no smooth dec spacetime extension

There are two versions of the dominant energy condition (=dec): The original one for Lorentzian manifolds and an associated one for initial data sets. If a Lorentzian manifold satisfies dec, then so does the induced initial set on any embedded spacelike hypersurface. In this article, we discuss the question of a potential converse of this: Is every dec initial data set the induced one on a spacelike hypersurface within a suitably chosen dec Lorentzian manifold? We provide an example showing that in general the answer is no if we require all structures to be smooth.
