It is my first question here, I hope it is not too stupid...
I am writing my thesis in math and I need a lot of subscripts and superscripts. My problem arises since in subscripts and superscripts numbers and capital letters are too big to appear with a small letter.
For instance, I have to write things like $c_{1}$ or $q_{A*}$
(I know it is not that nice having both A
and \*
, but the function is called $q_{A}$
and the operation _{*}
has a precise meaning). And it is not that nice.
Then I started using \scriptscriptstyle
when I have capital letters or numbers (for instance c_{{\scriptscriptstyle 1}}
. And finally I noticed that several times I have to subscribe things like _{2g}
or _{k+1}
and there numbers come back to their original size.
Hence I was wondering whether there is a standard way or etiquette to deal with this issue (since now I feel either I go back to standard style or I start writing things like u_{{\scriptscriptstyle 2}g}
...)
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,oneside,openright]{book}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath,amscd}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\begin{document}
$Hom_{0}(X)$ or $Hom_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}(X)$?
But then I have also $Hom_{2g-1}(X)$...
Then also $c_{1}$ or $c_{\scriptscriptstyle 1}$
Mixed things like $k^{2g-2p+s}$ or $(u_{{\scriptscriptstyle 1}},\ldots,u_{g}, \tilde{u}_{{\scriptscriptstyle 1}}=u_{g+1}, \ldots , \tilde{u}_{g}=u_{2g})$
Also $\omega_{E}$ is quite annoying.
\end{document}
`
, they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it).subdepth
package.$\operatorname{Hom}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}(X)$
, really; I'm referring to the subscript (Hom
should be upright). There's no reason for reducing the size. I use$\{v_1,\dots,v_n\}$
all the time, it's just right as it is.
