In this paper, we study n-dimensional complete submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the Euclidean space En+p and n-dimensional compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1). We prove that the totally umbilical sphere Sn(r), totally geodesic Euclidean space En and generalized cylinder Sn−1(c) × E1 are the only n-dimensional (n > 2) complete submanifolds Mn with constant scalar curvature n(n − 1)r in the Euclidean space En+p, which satisfy the following condition: where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of Mn. For compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1), we also obtain a corresponding result (see theorem 1.3).

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.

The paper considers n-dimensional hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature of a unit sphere Sn−1(1). The hypersurface Sk(c1)×Sn−k(c2) in a unit sphere Sn+1(1) is characterized, and it is shown that there exist many compact hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in a unit sphere Sn+1(1) which are not congruent to each other in it. In particular, it is proved that if M is an n-dimensional (n > 3) complete locally conformally flat hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)r in a unit sphere Sn+1(1), then r > 1−2/n, and(1) when r ≠ (n−2)/(n−1), ifthen M is isometric to S1(√1−c2)×Sn−1(c), where S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M;(2) there are no complete hypersurfaces in Sn+1(1) with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)r and with two distinct principal curvatures, one of which is simple, such that r = (n−2)/(n−1) and

AbstractLet Mn be an n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature H satisfying |H| ≤ ϵ(n) in a unit sphere Sn+1(1), n ≤ 8 and S the square of the length of the second fundamental form of M. There exists a constant δ(n, H) > 0, which depends only on n and H such that if S0 ≤ S ≤ S0 + δ(n, H), then S ≡ S0 and M is isometric to a Clifford hypersurface, where ϵ(n) is a sufficiently small constant depending on n and $S_0=n+\frac{n^3}{2(n-1)}H^2+\frac{n(n-2)}{2(n-1)}\sqrt{n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2}$.

Simons [5] has proved a pinching theorem for compact minimal submanifolds in a unit sphere, which led to an intrinsic rigidity result. Sakaki [4] improved this result of Simons for arbitrary codimension and has proved that if the scalar curvature S of the minimal submanifold Mn of Sn+P satisfiesthen either Mn is totally geodesic or S= 2/3 in which case n = 2 and M2 is the Veronese surface in a totally geodesic 4-sphere. This result of Sakaki was further improved by Shen [6] but only for dimension n=3, where it is shown that if S>4, then M3 is totally geodesic (cf. Theorem 3, p. 791).

Let M be an n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature H in a unit sphere Sn+1, n ≤ 8, and S the squared length of the second fundamental form of M. If |H| ≤ ε(n), then there exists a positive constant α(n, H), which depends only on n and H, such that if S0 ≤ S ≤ S0 + α(n, H), then S ≡ S0 and M is isometric to a Clifford hypersurface, where ε(n) is a positive constant depending only on n and [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we consider n (n ≥ 3)-dimensional compact oriented connected hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature n(n − 1)r in the unit sphere Sn+1(1). We prove that, if r ≥ (n − 2)/(n − 1) and S ≤ (n − 1)(n(r − 1) + 2)/(n − 2) + (n − 2)/(n(r − 1) + 2), then either M is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form if n = 3; or M is homeomorphic to a sphere if n ≥ 4; or M is isometric to the Riemannian product , where c2 = (n − 2)/(nr) and S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M.
