Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence and rigidity of (degenerated) circle pattern metric with prescribed total geodesic curvatures in spherical background geometry. To find the (degenerated) circle pattern metric with prescribed total geodesic curvatures, we define some prescribed combinatorial Ricci flows and study the convergence of flows for (degenerated) circle pattern metrics. We solve the prescribed total geodesic curvature problem and provide two methods to find the degenerated circle pattern metric with prescribed total geodesic curvatures. As far as we know, this is the first degenerated result for total geodesic curvatures in spherical background geometry.
