I came across the following an expression of an exponential with a rightarrow on top

$$T(z) = \overleftarrow{\exp}\int\limits_0^{2\pi}d\sigma L \sigma(z)$$

;

(this is eq (1.91))

It appears to be  notation for the path-ordered exponential.   I think the arrow indicates that the smallest value of $\sigma$ appears to the right and increases as we move to the left.
