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 [Formula: see text] 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 [Formula: see text], where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of this hypersurface.
