Abstract: We show that for a very general and natural class of curvature functions (for example the curvature quotients $(sigm{a}_n/sigm{a}_l{)}^{frac1n-l}$) the problem of finding a complete spacelike strictly convex hypersurface in de Sitter space satisfying $f(kappa)=sigmain(1,infty)$ with a prescribed compact future asymptotic boundary $Gamma$ at infinity has at least one smooth solution (if l = 1 or l = 2 there is uniqueness). This is the exact analogue of the asymptotic plateau problem in Hyperbolic space and is in fact a precise dual problem. By using this duality we obtain for free the existence of strictly convex solutions to the asymptotic Plateau problem for $sigm{a}_l=sigma$; $1leql<n$ in both deSitter and Hyperbolic space.
