Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the notation used in exact sequences, specifically the representation of functions on long arrows in LaTeX. Participants seek assistance in achieving a specific formatting style for mathematical expressions related to exact sequences.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help with LaTeX notation for functions on long arrows, referencing specific examples from a textbook.
  • Another participant suggests using the command \stackrel to achieve the desired notation.
  • A third participant expresses gratitude for the previous suggestion and reiterates the command.
  • Additional commands are proposed, including \xrightarrow and \overset, with explanations of their usage and capabilities, particularly in relation to the amsmath package.
  • A link to further resources is provided for additional context and examples.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the utility of the suggested LaTeX commands, but there is no consensus on a single preferred method, as multiple options are presented.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations may include the specific context of the commands within the broader framework of exact sequences and potential dependencies on the amsmath package for certain functionalities.

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.
