Tables with the same height and width

Question

How can I make these three tables the same width and height and the width of the first column of each table the same?

Also, how do I display the "Product" table just to the right of the "Sum" table? The minipage environment doesn't seem to work for me!

For the second question, you need to delete (or comment out) the empty lines around \vspace{.3cm}. LaTeX is interpreting that as a command to start a new paragraph. — Sandy G, Dec 04 '22 at 17:05

I'm not sure if this is what you want:

You need to delete the empty lines between the tables (which cause a new paragraph to start).

After that, columns = {leftsep=4pt, rightsep=4pt, 9mm} will fix all columns at 9mm. To make the first column special, place column{1}=36pt after the columns command.

Thank you!
I changed the settings slightly and got something almost compliant, but there is still a space difference (updated post).

Do you know how to solve it? — Sacha, Dec 04 '22 at 17:26
@Sacha: I cannot duplicate your result. There is no space difference when I compile the code. Replace \quad with \hspace{-3mm} to test. Checked with magnification at 10000%. Maybe this is just an issue with your pdf viewer. — Sandy G, Dec 04 '22 at 17:44
Whatever else you do, there should be no space between the + and - symbols and the associated \infty symbol. Also, I wouldn't use a text-mode "dash" symbol instead of a math-mode "minus" symbol to denote negative values. — Mico, Dec 04 '22 at 20:03
Thank you for your help! I finally got the result I wanted. Code updated above. — Sacha, Dec 04 '22 at 21:22

You asked,

how do I display the "Product" table just to the right of the "Sum" table?

I can't see a good use case for tblr environments here. I'd use three array environments instead -- with the big advantage of not having to provide so many $ symbols. Also, don't be afraid to use inline fraction notation when doing so is eminently called for.

I think the OP wants the second table to be next to, rather than below, the first one. Also, I'm pretty sure that (a) one should avoid a line break in the $\ell' \neq 0$ cell in the third table and (b) the contents of the dsta columns should be centered rather than left-aligned. — Mico, Dec 04 '22 at 20:47

With mode=math the $ are not necessary
