Addition to the previous post, most of the thin characters are already
defined in the Math Autocorrect functions if you use the linear input
format:

\hairsp, \thinsp, \medsp

And with regards to negative spaces, I guess you could use a combination of
phantoms and hair/thin/medium spaces. It doesn't look too bad, but it is a
bit of a trial and error thing.

You can use one the unicode characters for thin spaces in the range
U+2003 - U+200A. In your equation, just type 2003 followed by ALT+X.


I might be mistaken, but I doubt that negative spaces were ever defined in
the unicode standard.

And another question:


can I produce negative spaces and small spaces in the equation editor?


Something like the Latex-equivalent of:
\, is a thin space
\! is a negative thin space
