accent above a greek letter

Question

I want to make the greek letter omega with an accent above it.

I know that I make the letter in math mode:

$\omega$

and I know that I add a accent this way:

\'{e}

But when I combine the two:

\'{$\omega$}

I just get the accent before that omega, not above it.

Can anyone advise please?

Answer 1

Use \acute{} in mathmode:

$\acute{\omega}$

Other accents in mathmode:

\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}

\begin{document}

\section*{Accents in mathmode}
    $\begin{array}{llll}
        \underline{\omega} & \verb|\underline{\omega}| &
        \overline{\omega} & \verb|\overline{\omega}| \\
        \hat{\omega} & \verb|\hat{\omega}| &
        \check{\omega} & \verb|\check{\omega}| \\
        \tilde{\omega} & \verb|\tilde{\omega}| &
        \acute{\omega} & \verb|\acute{\omega}| \\
        \grave{\omega} & \verb|\grave{\omega}| &
        \dot{\omega} & \verb|\dot{\omega}| \\
        \ddot{\omega} & \verb|\ddot{\omega}| &
        \breve{\omega} & \verb|\breve{\omega}| \\
        \bar{\omega} & \verb|\bar{\omega}| &
        \vec{\omega} & \verb|\vec{\omega}| \\
    \end{array}$
\end{document}
