Abstract
We introduce a non-local L 2-gradient flow for the Willmore energy of immersed surfaces which preserves the isoperimetric ratio. For spherical initial data with energy below an explicit threshold, we show long-time existence and convergence to a Helfrich immersion. This is in sharp contrast to the locally constrained flow, where finite time singularities occur.
