Which command should you use?

CommandPackageUse it when
\xrightarrow{p} recommendedamsmathThe arrow stretches to fit its label.
\xrightarrow{\mathbb{P}} amsmath, amssymbWith a blackboard-bold P, as in many probability texts.
\overset{p}{\to} amsmathLabel set over a fixed-length arrow.
\stackrel{p}{\to} noneSame idea with no package at all.
Table 1. Ways to write converges in probability in LaTeX. Every line was compiled with pdfLaTeX (TeX Live 2026) loading only the package shown.
Common mistake. Use \xrightarrow{d} for convergence in distribution and \xrightarrow{\text{a.s.}} for almost sure convergence (both need amsmath).

How to type Converges In Probability

Write \xrightarrow{p} inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. This symbol needs the amsmath package, so add \usepackage{amsmath} to your preamble.

Example
$X_n \xrightarrow{p} X$Xn→pXX_n \xrightarrow{p} XXn​p​X
