Problem with mathring and subscripts












5














I am trying to use mathring with a subscript and a superscript. I try



{{ mathring {omega}}^{ab}}_{mu}


where I have put



{ mathring {omega}}^{ab}


in an extra set of parentheses
in the hope that the mu will be set to the right of the 'ab', but it comes out underneath it. I can make things work by using



{ mathring {omega}^{ab}}_{phantom{ab}mu} 


but this seems rather clumsy. Why is the usual trick for index spacing not working? Is there a neater way to get what I want?



my preamble starts with



usepackage{amsfonts}
usepackage{amssymb}

          It seems fine, but if you want, just set the subscript with a separate {}_{mu}:



          enter image description here



          documentclass{article}

          usepackage{amsmath}

          begin{document}

          ${{ mathring {omega}}^{ab}}_{mu} quad
          mathring {omega}^{ab} {}_{mu}$

          end{document}

            You have to add an empty group.



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{amsmath}

            begin{document}

            $mathring{omega}^{ab}_{mu}$qquad
            ${{}mathring{omega}^{ab}}_{mu}$qquad

            end{document}
