For given positive integers n（≥ 2）, p and for a constant H satisfying H 〉 1 there exists a negative number τ（n,p, H） ∈ （-1, 0） with the property that if the sectional curvature of N is pinched in [-1, τ-（n,p, H）], and if the squared length of the second fundamental form is in a certain interval, then N^n＋p is isometric to the hyperbolic space H^n＋P（-1）. As a consequence, this submanifold M is congruent to S^n（1√H^2 - 1） or the Veronese surface in S^4（1/√H^2-1）.展开更多
