Abstract

In this paper we study the C3 compactness for minimal submanifolds in the unit sphere. We obtain two compactness theorems. As an application, we prove that there is a positive number δ(n), such that if the square of the length of the second fundamental form of a minimal subrnanifold in the unit sphere is less than 2n/3+δ(n), it must be totally geodesic or diffeomorphic to a Veronese surface.
