I am using alignat environment to align a set of equations which practically describe the same thing, but for different quantities. Therefore I decided to skip the common things and replace them with cdots, however I don't seem to be able to align them in the center.



enter image description here



Any idea to center the dots?



A sample code follows

beginalignat*4
&sigma(E) &=& vecsigma(E) = bigsigma(E_1), sigma(E_2), cdots, sigma(E_n)big &=& bigsigma_1, sigma_2, cdots, sigma_nbig&\
&C(E) &=&cdots&=& bigC_1, C_2, cdots, C_nbig&\

You can result to low level TeX with the omit to break out of the current formatting:



Sample output

beginalignat*2
sigma(E) &=& vecsigma(E)

C(E) &=&omithfill$cdots$hfill

endalignat*

enddocument


Note I have also added groups to get correct spacing at the equals signs, and use bigl...bigr instead of big. Also between commas you should just use dots (or dotsc).



Be careful here with the use of the ampersands &. In alignat, the alignment is implicitly rlrl... with the first group right aligned, the second left aligned, etc.
