Abstract: | To a given immersion
i:Mn? \mathbb Sn+1{i:M^n\to \mathbb S^{n+1}} with constant scalar curvature R, we associate the supremum of the squared norm of the second fundamental form sup |A|2. We prove the existence of a constant C
n
(R) depending on R and n so that R ≥ 1 and sup |A|2 = C
n
(R) imply that the hypersurface is a H(r)-torus
\mathbb S1(?{1-r2})×\mathbb Sn-1 (r){\mathbb S^1(\sqrt{1-r^2})\times\mathbb S^{n-1} (r)}. For R > (n − 2)/n we use rotation hypersurfaces to show that for each value C > C
n
(R) there is a complete hypersurface in
\mathbb Sn+1{\mathbb S^{n+1}} with constant scalar curvature R and sup |A|2 = C, answering questions raised by Q. M. Cheng. |
