I write gamma symbol with indices in normal math mode as follows;
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$$
\Gamma^{\alpha} \\ _{\mu \nu}
$$
\end{document}
This is the right placement of indices I want. But when I use the same spacing command "\\" in align mode, it breaks the line instead of putting same horizontal space. I don't want to use other spacing commands like "\," since they put more spaces then I want. My question is: Is there a way that I can put the same amount of horizontal space as "\\" to the same place in my gamma symbol in align mode? I will be glad if you can help.

\\
inside\[...\]
(which is to be preferred over$$...$$
) is not allowed and it indicates the end of line if ever allowed. To leave a space you can use an empty atom `{} likeCode:
You can also use
\,
as in{\alpha}\,_
though, Id not recommend it.
