Abstract: A rigidity theorem for holomorphic mappings, in the nature of the uniqueness statement of the classical one-variable Schwarz lemma, is proved at the boundary of a strongly pseudoconvex domain. The result reduces to an interesting, and apparently new, result even in one complex dimension. The theorem has a variety of geometric and analytic interpretations.
