Abstract: Let $M^4$ be a closed minimal hypersurface in $\mathbb{S}^5$ with constant nonnegative scalar curvature. Denote by $f_3$ the sum of the cubes of all principal curvatures, by $g$ the number of distinct principal curvatures. It is proved that if both $f_3$ and $g$ are constant, then $M^4$ is isoparametric. Moreover, the authors give all possible values for squared length of the second fundamental form of $M^4$. This result provides another piece of supporting evidence to the Chern conjecture.
