Abstract
The authors prove a Schwarz lemma for harmonic mappings between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces. Roughly speaking, this result says that under a harmonic mapping between the unit balls in real Euclidean spaces, the image of a smaller ball centered at origin can be controlled. This extends the related result proved by Chen in complex plane.
