I am looking for a command to obtain the following calligraphic lowercase g in math mode: enter image description here

I have been looking around but to no avail for now.

    Don't look to much into the particular shape. You want a calligraphic G. The author/publisher of that formula happen to like that shape, you're not required to. By the way, it's a capital G.

It is an alternative glyph for capital Script G, provided by the professional (paid) MathTime Professional II fonts. If you have the complete set of fonts installed, you can get that symbol using \altG.mathtimepro2calligraphicandcurly

Btw, if you are looking for free alternatives, you can look at the newtxmath package as suggested by Sebastiano or the mathalpha package.

For reference, if you use unicode maths fonts, unicode-aware engines like xetex or lualatex, then unicode-math package provides access to 𝒢 U+1D4A2 and 𝓖 U+1D4D6 with \mscrG and\mbfscrG. Direct input can also be used.

You could use free text/math fonts like newtxtext, newtxmath. I have added another option \rsfscr{G} that work under \DeclareMathAlphabet\rsfscr{U}{rsfso}{m}{n}.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbb}{U}{msb}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathAlphabet\rsfscr{U}{rsfso}{m}{n}
\begin{document}
\[P_t(t<\tau<t+\Delta)=\mathbb{E}[\mathbb{I}_{\,t<\tau<t+\Delta}]\mathscr{G},\rsfscr{G}]\] 
\end{document}
