文摘It is proved that if M^n is an n-dimensional complete submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector and flat normal bundle in S^n+p(1), and if supM S 〈 α(n, H), where α(n,H)=n+n^3/2(n-1)H^2-n(n-2)/n(n-1)√n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2,then M^n must be the totally urnbilical sphere S^n(1/√1+H^2).An example to show that the pinching constant α(n, H) appears optimal is given.
