Abstract: Given a triangulated surface M, we use Ge-Xu's alpha-flow cite{Ge-Xu1} to deform any initial inversive distance circle packing metric to a metric with constant alpha-curvature. More precisely, we prove that the inversive distance circle packing with constant alpha-curvature is unique if alphachi(M)leq0, which generalize Andreev-Thurston's rigidity results for circle packing with constant cone angles. We further prove that the solution to Ge-Xu's alpha-flow can always be extended to a solution that exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to constant alpha-curvature. Finally, we give some combinatorial and topological obstacles for the existence of constant alpha-curvature metrics.
