Abstract

For a compact minimal hypersurface MM in Sn+1S^{n+1} with the squared length of the second fundamental form SS we confirm that there exists a positive constant \de(n)\de(n) depending only on n,n, such that if nSn+δ(n)n\leq S\leq n +\delta(n), then SnS\equiv n, i.e., MM is a Clifford minimal hypersurface, in particular, when n6,n\ge 6, the pinching constant \de(n)=\fn23.\de(n)=\f{n}{23}.
