Rigidity of Minimal Submanifolds in Spheres of Higher Codimension
Abstract
We investigate Chern's conjecture for minimal submanifolds of higher codimension in the unit sphere. We establish two integral inequalities for closed minimal submanifolds. Then we obtain a new rigidity theorem under a pinching condition on the squared norm of the second fundamental form.
