We prove that every complete, minimally immersed submanifold $f\: M^n \to \mathbb{S}^{n+p}$ whose second fundamental form satisfies $|A|^2 \le np/(2p-1)$, is either totally geodesic, or (a covering of) a Clifford torus or a Veronese surface…

In this note we prove that a constant mean curvature surface is proper-biharmonic in the unit Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^4$ if and only if it is minimal in a hypersphere $\mathbb{S}^3(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.

We classify the hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{Q}^3\times\mathbb{R}$ with three distinct constant principal curvatures, where $\varepsilon \in \{1,-1\}$ and $\mathbb{Q}^3$ denotes the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ if $\varepsilon = 1$, whereas it…

Let M be a closed embedded minimal hypersurface in a Euclidean sphere of dimension n+1, we prove that it is strongly rigid. As applications we confirm the conjecture proposed by Choi and Schoen in [3] and the Chern conjecture for n less…

For a closed minimal immersed hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb S^{n+1}$ with second fundamental form $A$, and each integer $k\ge 2$, define a constant $\sigma_k=\dfrac{\int_M (|A|^2)^k}{|M|}$. We show that $\sigma_k \ge 2^k$ provided $n=2$ and…
