May 6, 2020 at 21:29 comment added Philippe Gaucher @qkqh I've learnt something today, I could not imagine that there would be a counterexample. In my mind, a group is a one-object category, and the pushout must contain all possible compositions.

May 6, 2020 at 16:52 comment added qkqh @PhilippeGaucher What does it mean to add the free compositions in the category of groups? Could you explain it in detail?
May 6, 2020 at 16:44 comment added qkqh @MaximeRamzi I found that the above injectivity holds in any topos (toposes are adhesive). I cannot understand what topos is, but I think it may provide some answer. If topos theory has nothing to do with my question, sorry. Then, tell me. I will subtract it.

May 6, 2020 at 9:54 comment added Philippe Gaucher The pushout of a one-to-one map in the category of sets is one-to-one. In the category of groups, my guess is that you have to add the free compositions. So I would be surprised that $f$ is not one-to-one.
