[Tex/LaTex] How to stack more than two arrows in math mode

arrowsmath-modesymbols

The command \rightrightarrows (from amssymb) draws two arrows, one on top of another. How do I get three arrows arranged in a similar fashion? An example of this (and other fancy arrow stackings) appears on page 3 of this paper, for which a source file unfortunately does not seem to be available. Commands like \stackrel and \overset do not size or space things properly.

Best Answer

Use \substack

$X\substack{\rightarrow\\[-1em] \rightarrow \\[-1em] \rightarrow} Y$

you can change [-1em] to be any value as you want.

(Added by Hendrik Vogt:) With

$X \mathrel{\substack{\textstyle\rightarrow\\[-0.6ex]
                      \textstyle\rightarrow \\[-0.6ex]
                      \textstyle\rightarrow}} Y$

you get something quite close to \rightrightarrows.
