Show affiliationsFor ensembles of 2 × 2 real symmetric matrices, the normalized spacing distributions P(S) form a family whose parameter space is the unit cube with coordinates determined by the means and variances of the diagonal and off-diagonal elements. The cube contains a variety of spacing distributions that are calculated analytically; they include the Wigner–Poisson transition, distributions with singularities and Gaussians. Unfolding is superfluous for 2 × 2 matrices, but it can be implemented, giving rise to a further variety of spacing distributions, some surprising.
