# Is there a way to make superscripts larger?

Is there a way to make superscripts larger? Here is a minimal working example.

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[all]{xy}

\begin{document}
\xymatrix{A \\ B\ar@{}[u]^{\circlearrowleft} }
\end{document}


and I would like the \circlearrowleft to be larger. The following, for example, doesn't work:

\xymatrix{A \\ B\ar@{}[u]^{
\begin{Huge}
\circlearrowleft
\end{Huge}
} }

An easy scaling technique for resizing symbols is via graphicx: \usepackage{graphicx}...\scalebox{2}{$\circlearrowleft$} will double the size of \circlearrowleft. –  Werner Dec 28 '11 at 22:59
While code snippets are useful in explanations, it is always best to compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it. –  Peter Grill Dec 28 '11 at 22:59
@PeterGrill: Thanks! I added a MWE. –  David Zureick-Brown Dec 28 '11 at 23:02
@Werner: Awesome! Thanks! –  David Zureick-Brown Dec 28 '11 at 23:04

Scaling is possible on a "factor" basis via graphicx's \scalebox{<num>}{<stuff>} or "length/dimension" basis via \resizebox{<width>}{<height>}{<stuff>}. Here is a minimal example showing the former:

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[all]{xy}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{0.2\linewidth}
\xymatrix{A \\ B\ar@{}[u]^{\circlearrowleft} }
\begin{minipage}{0.2\linewidth}
\xymatrix{A \\ B\ar@{}[u]^{\scalebox{2}{$\circlearrowleft$}} }
\end{minipage}

\end{document}


Since both \scalebox and \resizebox resets the contents to text mode, you have to switch back to math mode using $...$.

A quick way is using \Huge etc. inside \mbox:

...^{\mbox{\Huge$\circlearrowleft$}}


Complete example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\xymatrix{
{} & M = H^1_{\text{cris}}(J_C, Z_p) \ar[dr]  & \\
J_C\ar@{-->}[ru] \ar@{-->}[rd] & &  H^1_{\text{dR}}(J_C, F_p) \\
& \{J_C[p^n]\}_n \ar@{-->}[uu] & V^{-1}\colon df \mapsto
\frac{\text{}d(f^p)\text{"}}{p}\ar@{}[u]^{\mbox{\Huge$\circlearrowleft$}}
}
\end{document}
