Abstract
We consider contracting and expanding curvature flows in . When the flow hypersurfaces are strictly convex we establish a relation between the contracting hypersurfaces and the expanding hypersurfaces which is given by the Gau{\ss} map. The contracting hypersurfaces shrink to a point while the expanding hypersurfaces converge to the equator of the hemisphere . After rescaling, by the same scale factor, the rescaled hypersurfaces converge to the unit spheres with centers \resp exponentially fast in .
