open euclidean ball symbol

Post by Turkurz » Wed Sep 08, 2010 5:37 pm

does anyone know how to create the symbol for an open euclidean ball? In the literature, the symbol blackboard B is used with a little circle over it.

\overset<\mathbb>

What I wish concerning the symbol is that the circle would be directly above the letter B, so that there would be no (or minimal) space between B and the circle (a sort of "tight" circle). I just want this so that the lines containing this symbol wouldn't have an increased height, cause it looks really ugly.
