In this thesis,we mainly study the second and first pinching problems in a sphere,and get some geometric characterizations of Clifford torus in a sphere.We first study the second pinching problem of closed minimal hypersurface and prove the following result.Let M be an n-dimensional closed minimal hypersurface in the unit sphereSn+1(1). If there exists at most one simple principal curvature at each point p∈M,andthen S≡n ,and M is the Clifford torus Sk(?)×Sn-k(?).We generalize the result to the case of closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature.Let M be the n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvatureofa unit sphere Sn+1 (1), 0≤H < D(n) ,D(n) is a constant only rely on n. If there exists at most one simple principal curvature at each point p∈M,andthen S≡β(n, H) ,i.e.M is a Clifford hypersurfacewhereWe study the first pinching problem for compact submanifolds in an unit sphere and get the following result.Let M be an n-dimensional compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector and flat normal bundle in Sn+p(1). If S≤α(n,H),then M is either thetotally umbilical sphere Sn (1/(?)),the Clifford isoparametric hypersurfaceSn-1(1/(?))×S1(λ(n,H)/(?)) in a totally geodesic sphere Sn+1(1), orthe Clifford torus S1(r1)×S1(r2)in S3(r) with constant mean curvature H0, where...
