Let \(R\) be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity (not necessarily local), and let \(\mathfrak {a}\) be a proper ideal of \(R\) . We investigate the invariance of certain classes of \(\mathfrak {a}\) -relative Cohen-Macaulay modules under pure ring homomorphisms and ring homomorphisms of finite flat dimension. Our results generalize several existing results in the literature on homological modules.
