Typeset a semidirect Product

Post by fgallagher »

Hi there,

First time to register here. I am trying to write a semidirect product in a maths paper, and the latex help tells me to use \rtimes but when I do nothing happens.

I am able to use \times all the time but somehow \rtimes is not working. Any suggestions?

Hi,

welcome to the board!

For using \rtimes, you need to load a package, such as amssymb, mathabx or MnSymbol.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\[
    A \rtimes B
\]
\end{document}
