Abstract
In this paper, we study n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurfaces in a unit sphere Sn+1(1) and give an answer for S. S. Chern's conjecture. We have shown that if S > n, and prove that an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in Sn+1(1) is a totally geodesic sphere or a Clifford torus if , where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of this hypersurface.

On Chernʼs problem for rigidity of minimal hypersurfaces in the spheres

TL;DR: For a compact minimal hypersurface M in S n + 1 with the squared length of the second fundamental form S, it was shown in this paper that there exists a positive constant δ ( n ) depending only on n, such that if n ⩽ S ⩾ n + δ( n ), then S ≡ n, i.e., M is a Clifford minimal hypersuroface, in particular, when n ≥ 6, the pinching constant ω(n ) = n 23.

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized Chern conjecture was investigated in a closed hypersurface with constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature, and it was shown that there exists an explicit positive constant (C(n)$ depending only on n$ such that if H = n, β(n,H) = n + β(H) + 4(n − 1)H^2 + n − 1), then H > \beta (n, H) + 3n − 7 + n−1 + β (n−2) + σ(

Minimal Hypersurfaces in a Riemannian Manifold of Constant Curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the converse problem for minimal hypersurfaces in Sn+1 and showed that if the number of principal curvatures is two and the multiplicities of them are at least two for a hypersurface of this kind in Sn+, then it is known that it is possible to construct a minimal hypergraph with a constant number of curvatures.
