"Missing $ inserted", otherwise I don't like that the arrow is italic while
Gamma is not. $\mathit{\vec{\Gamma}}$ and
$\mathop{\Gamma}^{\scriptscriptstyle\to}$ are bad as well. Placing
something on top of a capital letter is problematic in general. Note that
in (classical) Greek, diacritical marks are not set on top of capital
letters, but on their left (learnt this from Claudio Beccari, cf. my
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Räter), or already that limits of sum or
integral symbols are set on their right in inline mode. What is the
convention in this field?
