does anybody how to render the Hungarian umlaut in \documentclass{amsart}? I know how to do it in \documentclass{article} (it's the command \H) but I need it in \documentclass{amsart}.

    Welcome to tex.sx. amsart was constructed in such a way that almost anything that works in article should also work without change in amsart. The only significant difference is that the top matter (authors and related elements) need to be coded differently. – barbara beeton Aug 15 '19 at 17:16
  • \documentclass{amsart} \begin{document} Erd\H{o}s \end{document} compiles for me and produces Erdős as expected (you may or may not want to add \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and/or \usepackage{lmodern} to the preamble). Did that not work for you? Can you show us a short example document that explains how \H did not work for you? – moewe Aug 15 '19 at 17:39
  • If you want to write it directly from the keyboard you may need to use the inputenc package with option utf8 kand make sure the doc is saved in utf8 encoding) plus fontenc as moewe mentions. Note that modern larex systems will assume utf8 by default, not true on 8lder systems – daleif Aug 15 '19 at 17:54

    \H is defined in latex not in article class, why do you think it shouldn't work in amsart did you try it and get an error? – David Carlisle Aug 15 '19 at 18:56

The macro \H seems also to work in amsart. But if you ever needed a cheap imitation...

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{stackengine,scalerel}
\begin{document}
\newcommand\Humlaut[1]{\stackengine{-.05ex}{#1}{\hstretch{.8}{\vstretch{.65}{%
  \mkern1mu\scriptscriptstyle''}}}{O}{c}{F}{F}{S}}

\H u H\Humlaut{u}ngarian umlaut
\end{document}

enter image description here

    Thank you, Steven! Your ``cheap imitation'' worked!! – Loredana Lanzani Aug 16 '19 at 13:20
