Existence of embedded immortal solutions for higher-order area-preserving curvature flows

Let m1m\geq1. Consider the area-preserving curvature flow of order mm for embedded initial curves with length L0L_0 and enclosed area 11. Immortal-solution conjecture. For every L04πL_0\geq\sqrt{4\pi}, there exists an embedded initial curve γ0\gamma_0 of length L0L_0 and enclosed area 11 such that the solution starting from γ0\gamma_0 is immortal. This extends the corresponding property known for the m=0m=0 area-preserving curve-shortening flow; for m1m\geq1, convexity is not preserved, so a substantially new method beyond the nearly circular regime is required.
