This is a unified exposition of results (obtained by different authors) on the existence of π1-injective immersed and embedded surfaces in graph-manifolds, and also of nonpositively curved metrics on graph-manifolds. The basis for unification is provided by the notion of compatible cohomology classes and by a certain difference equation on the graph of a graph-manifold (the BKN-equation). Criteria for seven different properties of graph-manifolds are given at three levels: at the level of compatible cohomology classes; at the level of solutions of the BKN-equation; and in terms of spectral properties of operator invariants of a graph-manifold.
