Package (requirement) | No |
Argument | No |
Latex command | \Lambda |
Example | \Lambda → Λ |
The Big Lambda or capital Lambda symbol looks a lot like the inverted English letter V, it’s used in many places in mathematics.
To print the Big Lambda symbol in a latex document, you need to use \Lambda
the default command of LaTeX.
This command works in LaTeX math mode, so you must enclose the command in double dollars (\]
) or single dollar ($
) quotes.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[ \verb|\Lambda|\rightarrow \Lambda \]
\[ H(\lambda ,z):=\int_{0}^{\infty }e^{\lambda u^{2}}\Phi (u)\cos(zu)du \]
\[ \Lambda (\theta _{1}:\theta _{2}\mid x)={\frac {{\mathcal {L}}(\theta _{1}\mid x)}{{\mathcal {L}}(\theta _{2}\mid x)}} \]
\end{document}
Output :
Use superscript and subscript with big Lambda
Use ^{arg}
for superscript with big lambda or capital lambda and underscore _{arg}
for subscript, like this
\Lambda^{superscript}_{subscript}
And of course, it must be used in math mode.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[ \verb|\Lambda^0|\rightarrow\Lambda^0 \quad \verb|\Lambda_c|\rightarrow\Lambda_c \]
\[ \verb|\Lambda^{+}_{c}|\rightarrow\lambda^{+}_{c} \]
\[ \Lambda^0_b ,\Lambda^+_t, \Lambda_{g\mu\nu} \]
\end{document}

How to make big Lambda bold in LaTeX
You can use Latex’s default command \mathbf{}
to print big lambda or capital lambda symbols in bold.
You can also use the \bm
command in the bm package to print this symbol in bold in the document.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\usepackage{bm}
\[ \verb|\Lambda|\rightarrow\Lambda \]
\[ \verb|\mathbf{\Lambda}|\rightarrow\mathbf{\Lambda} \quad \verb|\bm{\Lambda}|\rightarrow\bm{\Lambda} \]
\end{document}
Output :
