Abstract
A standard fact about two incompressible surfaces in an irreducible 3-manifold is that one can move one of them by isotopy so that their intersection becomes π 1 -injective. By extending it to maps of some 3-dimensional Z n -manifolds into 4-manifolds, we prove that any homotopy equivalence of 4-dimensional graph-manifolds with reduced graph-structures is homotopic to a diffeomorphism preserving the structures.
