Covering Morphisms in a Pushout-Pullback Diagram

Abstract:

      In a pushout-pullback diagram, which consists of four morphisms $f:A\rightarrow B$, $g:A\rightarrow C$, $\alpha:C\rightarrow D$ and $\beta:B\rightarrow D$, we give some relations among the covers of these four modules. If ker$f\in I({\mathscr{L}})$, then $g:A\rightarrow C$ is ${\mathscr{L}}$-covering if and only if $\beta:B\rightarrow D$ is ${\mathscr{L}}$-covering. If every module has an ${\mathscr{L}}$-precover and ker$f\in I({\mathscr{L}})$, then $A$ and $C$ have isomorphic ${\mathscr{L}}$-precovers if and only if $B$ and $D$ have isomorphic ${\mathscr{L}}$-precovers.
