Stronger Chern conjecture for minimal hypersurfaces

From papers

Let MnM^n be a closed, minimally immersed hypersurface of the unit sphere Sn+1\mathbb{S}^{n+1} with constant scalar curvature. Stronger version of Chern's conjecture. Then MnM^n is isoparametric. Motivated by isoparametric theory, this hypersurface formulation strengthens the general discreteness conjecture. Isoparametric hypersurfaces are the only known examples described in the source, and the conjecture remains open in general.
