Topologically Rigid Non-Haken 3-Manifolds

J. Hass and W. Menasco

(Received 8 June 1992)

Abstract

A closed irreducible 3-manifold M is topologically rigid if any homotopy equivalent irreducible 3-manifold is homeomorphic to M. A construction is given which produces infinitely many non-Haken topologically rigid 3-manifolds.
