How do I select the style of a lowercase gamma?
It is traditional in Physics to use a lowercase gamma that looks like a Y. Without going into the question of whether that tradition is wrong, how do I differentiate in Latex markup between a Gamma that looks like a Y and a Gamma with a loop?

I think you try to distinguish btw. a small gamma (γ) and a capital one (Γ), which would be gamma and Gamma respectively.
