Are you using cruise control to set the speed? If so, it could be engine braking to keep it at the desired speed. Some cars do this, some don’t.

No, no cruise control

Weird. No clue, then. If your RPMs increase during these slow downs then it’s from engine braking.
It could be that your car is downshifting for the uphill and then remains in that lower gear for the downhill, causing unintentional engine braking.
