Inverse Gauss curvature flows with free boundaries in a cone

Abstract

We consider strictly convex hypersurfaces with the boundary which meets a strictly convex cone perpendicularly. We prove that if these hypersurfaces expand inside this cone, driven by the power of the Gauss curvature, then the evolution exists for all the time and the evolving hypersurfaces converge smoothly to a piece of round sphere after rescaling.
