Abstract
In this paper we will consider isometric minimal immersions \(\psi:{\text S}^{n}_{k}\rightarrow {\text S}^{l}_{1}\subset {\text R}^{l+1}\) of the n-sphere \({\text S}^{n}_{k}\) with constant sectional curvature K into the unit sphere \({\text S}^{l}_{1}\) of the euclidean space \({\text R}^{l+1}.\)
