Abstract
In this paper, we prove that any closed minimal hypersurface of with constant scalar curvature and constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature must be isoparametric. Specifically, is either an equatorial 4-sphere, a Clifford torus or , or a Cartan's minimal hypersurface. Consequently, the squared norm of the second fundamental form can only take the values 0, 4, 12. This result provides strong support for Chern's Conjecture.
