Lemma 76.48.8. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let
\[ \xymatrix{ X \ar[rr]_ f \ar[rd] & & Y \ar[ld] \\ & Z } \]
be a commutative diagram of morphisms of algebraic spaces over $S$. Assume $Y \to Z$ is smooth and $X \to Z$ is a local complete intersection morphism. Then $f : X \to Y$ is a local complete intersection morphism.
Proof.
Choose a scheme $W$ and a surjective étale morphism $W \to Z$. Choose a scheme $V$ and a surjective étale morphism $V \to W \times _ Z Y$. Choose a scheme $U$ and a surjective étale morphism $U \to V \times _ Y X$. Then $U \to W$ is a local complete intersection morphism of schemes and $V \to W$ is a smooth morphism of schemes. By the result for schemes (More on Morphisms, Lemma 37.62.10) we conclude that $U \to V$ is a local complete intersection morphism. By definition this means that $f$ is a local complete intersection morphism.
