MHB Extension and contraction of I to D^-1R

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the extension and contraction of ideals as defined in Dummit and Foote's textbook. Participants seek assistance with LaTeX code for representing the symbols ^eI and ^cI, which denote these concepts. Specific codes are provided for correct formatting, and additional tips for improving alignment in LaTeX are shared. The use of an "empty character" before superscripts or subscripts is suggested for better visual consistency. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise notation in mathematical documentation.

At the bottom of page 708 in Dummit and Foote (Chapter 15, Section 15.4 Localization) we find the definition of the extension and contraction of ideals.

The notation is similar to $$ I^e $$ and $$ I^c $$ except that the superscripts e and c occur before the I.

Can someone please help me with the latex for these symbols?

Use the codes:

^eI to get: $$^eI$$

^cI to get: $$^cI$$

Thanks Mark

Appreciate the help.

See also StackExchange for some options that fine-tune the spacing.
 
One thing I've noticed in latex is that if you put an "empty character" (using {}) before a preceding superscript/subscript, it seems to give better alignment with other similarly tagged symbols.
