I need to use curved arrows instead of linear ones. So instead of

$$A\stackrel{x}\longrightarrow B \stackrel{y}\longrightarrow C$$

I might want to input something like

$$A\myarrow{x} B \myarrow{y}C$$

to produce something roughly similar to this (hand-drawn in inkscape): enter image description here

Is this even possible without converting my whole diagram into a Tikz drawing?

Try this command: Add this to your document preamble: \newcommand{\myarrow}[1]{\raisebox{-12pt}{$\stackrel{\tikz[baseline]{\draw[->] (0, 0) arc (220:320:10pt);}}{#1}$}}

and use it as $A\myarrow{x}B$ and $A\myarrow{x}B\myarrow{y}C$.

Output:

  • In amssymb, curvearrowright and curvearrowleft both form the upper half of a semicircle, with arrows in opposite directions. Are there similar commands for the lower half of a semicircle? – Michael Hardy Oct 17 '23 at 16:32
