“…For that the homomorphism θ * (e) in exact sequence (1) plays a central role. When a Leibniz algebra is regarded as a Leibniz crossed module in the two usual ways (Example 2.3 (i)), then the subsequent results recover the corresponding ones for stem extensions and stem cover of Leibniz algebras in [10,13]. Also, if (a, b, σ) ∼ = M(n, q, δ), then the stem extension (e) is called a stem cover or covering of (n, q, δ).…”
