$\stackrel{\textrm{argmax}}{\alpha}$
in mathmode puts alpha under argmax, but alpha is on the bottom
of the line. the following with a minipage gives better result:
\begin{minipage}[t]{1.25cm}\parskip-1ex\begin{center}
argmax
$\alpha$
\end{center}\end{minipage}
option [t]: alpha is under argmax
option [b]: argmax is over alpha
option [m]: both are vertically centered in the line.
