A chapter in The Chern Symposium 1979, 1980, pp 199-227 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The subject matter that I wish to discuss here is one that seems particularly appropriate to this occasion. It is in fact, as will become abundantly clear, one of the many parts of differential geometry where Chern’s influence has been both fundamental and pervasive. What is more, a substantial portion of the body of recent work described here is closely related to, and in many cases directly inspired by, a single paper of Chern’s [19]—his first paper devoted to the theory of minimal surfaces.
