[Tex/LaTex] Subscript under sum with dot

subscripts

I have a problem with the subscript under a sum with dot, it changes the position of the subscript. Namely,

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document}
\begin{align}
 \dot{\sum}_{i \in I}
\end{align}
\end{document} 

places the subscript next to the sum instead of under it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Best Answer

Using an accent upon \sum makes it lose the nature of operator. You simply have to reinstate it:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand{\dotsum}{\mathop{\dot\sum}}

\begin{document}
\[
 \dotsum_{i \in I}
 \sum_{i \in I}
\]
\end{document}

The \sum next to \dotsum is just for checking the alignment.
