Abstract
Let be a compact orientable non-Haken 3-manifold modeled on the Thurston geometry . We show that the diffeomorphism group deformation retracts to the isometry group . Combining this with earlier work by many authors, this completes the determination the homotopy type of for any compact, orientable, prime 3-manifold .
