See https://github.com/vspinu/company-math for more information.

My current configuration:

(use-package company-math
  :hook
  ;; This will enable the company-math backend for LaTeX mode
  (LaTeX-mode . (lambda ()
          (setq-local company-backends
                  (append '((company-math-symbols-latex company-latex-commands))
                      company-backends))))
  )

See the attached file for the results returned using your example.

What's your corfu configuration? And also see here [1] for the related
