摘要
We address the question that if π_1-surjective maps between closed aspherical 3-manifolds have the same rank on π_1 they must be of non-zero degree. The positive answer is proved for Seifert manifolds, which is used in constructing the first known example of minimal Haken manifold. Another motivation is to study epimorphisms of 3-manifold groups via maps of non-zero degree between 3- manifolds. Many examples are given.
