A criterion for homeomorphism between closed Haken manifolds

In this paper we consider two connected closed Haken manifolds denoted by $M^{3}$ and $N^{3}$ , with the same Gromov simplicial volume. We give a simple homological criterion to decide when a given map $f : M^{3} \to N^{3}$ between $M^{3}$ and $N^{3}$ can be changed by a homotopy to a homeomorphism. We then give a convenient process for constructing maps between $M^{3}$ and $N^{3}$ satisfying the homological hypothesis of the map $f$ .
