Change of polytope volumes under Möbius transformations and the circumcenter of mass

The circumcenter of mass of a simplicial polytope $P$ is defined as follows: triangulate $P$, assign to each simplex its circumcenter taken with weight equal to the volume of the simplex, and then find the center of mass of the resulting system of point masses. The so obtained point is independent of the triangulation. The aim of the present note is to give a definition of the circumcenter of mass that does not rely on a triangulation. To do so we investigate how volumes of polytopes change under Möbius transformations.
