Inversive distance circle packing metric was introduced by P Bowers and K Stephenson as a generalization of Thurston’s circle packing metric. They conjectured that the inversive distance circle packings are rigid. For nonnegative inversive distance, Guo proved the infinitesimal rigidity and then Luo proved the global rigidity. In this paper, based on an observation of Zhou, we prove this conjecture for inversive distance in (−1, +∞)by variational principles. We also study the global rigidity of a combinatorial curvature with respect to the inversive distance circle packing metrics where the inversive distance is in (−1, +∞).

For $1 \leq p < \infty$, Ludwig, Haberl and Parapatits classified $L_p$ Minkowski valuations intertwining the special linear group with additional conditions such as homogeneity and continuity. In this paper,a complete classification of $L_p$ Minkowski valuations intertwining the special linear group on polytopes without any additional conditions is established for $p \geq 1$ including $p = \infty$. For $n=3$ and $p=1$, there exist valuations not mentioned before.

By using the method of mixed volumes, we give sharp bounds for inclusion measures of convex bodies in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In the special cases where the random convex body is the unit ball or when n = 3, neater and simpler bounds are obtained. All the associated inequalities proved are new isoperimetrictype inequalities.
