Abstract

In this paper we consider two connected closed Haken manifolds denoted by M3 and N3, with the same Gromov simplicial volume. We give a simple homological criterion to decide when a given map f: M3-->N3 between M3 and N3 can be changed by a homotopy to a homeomorphism. We then give a convenient process for constructing maps between M3 and N3 satisfying the homological hypothesis of the map f.
