[Tex/LaTex] Double Slash close together

math-modesymbols

I am looking for a certain symbol. It looks like // but closer together and in mathematics refers to a GIT quotient. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The stmaryrd package offers you \sslash:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}

\begin{document}

${\displaystyle A\sslash B}\quad
A\sslash B\quad
L_{A\sslash B}\quad
L_{M_{A\sslash B}}$

\end{document}

enter image description here

As egreg mentions, one can also define the symbols without extra packages:

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\sslash}{\mathbin{/\mkern-6mu/}}

\begin{document}

${\displaystyle A\sslash B}\quad
A\sslash B\quad
L_{A\sslash B}\quad
L_{M_{A\sslash B}}$

\end{document}
