MHB Exact Sequences - functions on longright arrows

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion on exact sequences, participants seek assistance with LaTeX notation for functions represented on long right arrows. Specific examples include using \stackrel and \overset commands to place symbols above arrows, with \xrightarrow allowing for additional text placement. The amsmath package is highlighted for its versatility in applying these commands to various symbols. The conversation references an attachment from Dummit and Foote for context on terminology. Overall, the focus is on achieving clear and effective representation of mathematical functions in LaTeX.

In exact sequences, a convenient notation is to have a function symbol like
png.latex
on a longrightarrow.

I have given an example of this in the attachment so it is clear what notation I am requesting help with - see attachment "Exact Sequences - Latex Question"

I have also provided an attachment showing the start of Section 10.5 (Exact Sequences) of Dummit and Foote where there are a number of examples of the terminology I am hoping to use in Latex encoded postings.

If someone can help me with this problem I would be most grateful

Peter

\stackrel{\psi}{\longrightarrow}: $\stackrel{\psi}{\longrightarrow}$
 
Thanks Opalg, most helpful

Also, \xrightarrow[\text{below arrow}]{\text{above arrow}} gives $\xrightarrow[\text{below arrow}]{\text{above arrow}}$, and \overset{\psi}{\longrightarrow} gives $\overset{\psi}{\longrightarrow}$. The latter command is provided by the amsmath package, and, unlike \stackrel, can be used on ordinary symbols and binary operators and not only relations.
