# Multiple subscripts [duplicate]

Separate long math text under sum symbol into different lines?

I'm trying to produce a product which has two subindices. Like this:

$\phi_n(X)=\prod_{z\in \mu_n \\ z \textup{primitive}} (X-z)$

That doesn't work: the \\ is not recognized.

See if tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12344 explains what you need. –  Andrey Vihrov Mar 27 '11 at 17:15
Wonderful, that's exactly what I needed. I guess I didn't search using the correct terms. Thanks! –  Bruno Stonek Mar 27 '11 at 17:18

The line break \\ doesn't work inside math like that. You can use e.g. \shortstack to stack the indices:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

$\phi_n(X)=\prod_{\shortstack{\scriptstyle z\in \mu_n \\\scriptstyle z \textup{primitive}}} (X-z)$

\end{document}

What's the difference between this and \prod_{\substack{z\in \mu_n \\ z \textup{ primitive}}} (X-z) ? –  Bruno Stonek Mar 27 '11 at 17:23
@Bruno: I didn't now \substack before. It seems to be the better solution. The \shortstack macro is however also useful in other situations (e.g. textmode) where things have to be stacked. –  Martin Scharrer Mar 27 '11 at 17:25
