SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the extension and contraction of ideals as defined in Dummit and Foote's "Abstract Algebra," specifically in Chapter 15, Section 15.4. Participants clarify the LaTeX notation for these concepts, using codes such as ^eI for extension and ^cI for contraction. Additionally, a tip is provided regarding the use of an "empty character" in LaTeX to improve alignment of superscripts and subscripts. This discussion highlights practical LaTeX coding techniques relevant to algebraic structures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Dummit and Foote's "Abstract Algebra"
  • Understanding of ideals in ring theory
  • Basic knowledge of LaTeX typesetting
  • Experience with mathematical notation and symbols
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX formatting for mathematical symbols and structures
  • Explore advanced LaTeX techniques for spacing and alignment
  • Study the properties of ideals in ring theory
  • Review additional resources on localization in algebra
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and researchers interested in algebraic structures and LaTeX formatting for 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.
