Luo–Wu's discrete uniformization conjecture for hyperbolic convex hulls

Let HP3\mathbb{H}^3_P be the Poincaré ball model of hyperbolic 33-space, let HP3\partial \mathbb{H}^3_P be its ideal boundary, and let CP(X)C_P(X) denote the hyperbolic convex hull of XX. A compact subset XHP3X\subset\partial \mathbb{H}^3_P is circle-type if every connected component of XX is either a round disk or a point. A genus zero complete hyperbolic surface has genus zero and a complete hyperbolic metric; an end is a cusp end when it is a cusp of that metric.

Discrete uniformization conjecture. Suppose that SS is a genus zero complete hyperbolic surface with countably many ends, all but at most one of which are cusp ends. Then SS is isometric to the boundary CP(X)\partial C_P(X) of the convex hull of some circle-type closed set XHP3X\subset\partial \mathbb{H}^3_P. Furthermore, such a circle-type closed set XX is unique up to Möbius transformations.

The statement is presented as a formulation of the discrete uniformization problem for non-compact polyhedral surfaces. In the supplied text, the broader countable-ends version is already proved, so this restricted statement is solved as a consequence rather than remaining open.
