We solve this question for the class of closed orientable graph manifolds. More presisely the main result of this paper asserts that any closed orientable graph manifold 1-dominates at most finitely many orientable closed three-manifolds satisfying the Poincare-Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. To prove this result we state a more general theorem for Haken manifolds which says that any closed orientable three-manifold M 1-dominates at most finitely many Haken manifolds whose Gromov simplicial volume is sufficiently close to that of M.Geometric Topology57M50, 51H20Non-zero degree maps between closed orientable three-manifoldstext
