?plotmath

plot(1, main=expression("Pareto Distribution:"~alpha==2*","~italic(y)[italic(m)]==3) )

That italic-y is not as "cursive" as your example, but perhaps you can use a different font. If that is your desire then look at the last examples in ?points. (It always has seemed strange that so much useful stuff about text/font output is located in the help page for points, but there is a link to that page near the end ofhte ?plotmath page.)
