Euclidean discrete uniformization conjecture for weighted marked surfaces

Let (M,V,ε)(M,V,\varepsilon) be a closed connected weighted marked surface, where ε:V{0,1}\varepsilon:V\rightarrow\{0,1\}, χ(M)=0\chi(M)=0, and dd is a piecewise linear metric on (M,V,ε)(M,V,\varepsilon). Let D(d)\mathcal{D}(d) denote the discrete conformal class of dd, and let discrete curvature be the curvature assigned to the marked vertices by the discrete conformal structure. Euclidean discrete uniformization conjecture. There exists a piecewise linear metric dD(d)d'\in\mathcal{D}(d), unique up to scaling and an isometry homotopic to the identity on (M,V,ε)(M,V,\varepsilon), such that dd' is discrete conformal to dd and has discrete curvature 00. This conjecture predicts a zero-curvature representative in every Euclidean discrete conformal class on a weighted marked surface with Euler characteristic zero; its resolution is not given here.
