I have not quite figured out what the exact goal is but this shows how to loop with expression that have evaluated component: .... bquote is your friend: for (trial in 1:length(a)) { plot(x=a,y=b, # you were at the very least missing an x and y argument main=bquote( italic(i)-.(trial)^th~choice)) } ... and you had too many quoted elements. Plotmath `paste` is usually not needed. Learn to use * and ~.
