Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 48 (1998) no. 2, pp. 535-551.

En définissant une nouvelle classe de nœuds dans les variétés de dimension 3, on obtient une démonstration plus classique du théorème de rigidité virtuelle des variétés hyperboliques de D. Gabai.

We introduce a class of knots and use it to prove a topological rigidity criterion for homotopy equivalences between 3-manifolds. As an application, we give a new proof of Gabai’s virtual rigidity theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
