It's clear that you  always are in a situation where mmod is true, then \GG
is replaced with  G_G

Well, I intended "replaced with $G_G$",
             not "replaced with  G_G";
so I thought this would force/ensure math mode and thus prevent infinite 
recursion.

but as soon as you fall into "mmod not true" then you have infinite
recursion.

Also, my observation was that my original macro worked well when called for TeX 
code (at various places of use:
  \GG $\GG$
  \startitemize[][]
    \sym{\GG} \GG
    \sym{$\GG$} $\GG$
    \sym{\m{\GG}} \m{\GG}
    \item End
  \stopitemize
)
but stopped working when called from Lua (?!).

@Hans:

This seems to be best solution - exactly what I wanted to achieve: 
\def\GG{\mathematics{G_G}}.

Thanks both for your help.

Best ragrds,

Lukas
