Abstract
We study the reduced energy spectrum \(\{E_{i}^{(n)}\}\), which is constructed by picking one level from every n levels of the original spectrum \( \{E_{i}\}\), in a Gaussian ensemble of random matrix with Dyson index \( \beta \in \left( 0,\infty \right) \). It is shown the joint probability distribution of \(\{E_{i}^{(n)}\}\) bears the same form as \(\{E_{i}\}\) with a rescaled parameter \(\gamma =\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\beta +n-1\). Notably, the nth-order level spacing and gap ratio in \(\{E_{i}\}\) become the lowest order ones in \(\{E_{i}^{(n)}\}\), which explains their distributions found separately by recent studies in a consistent way. Our results also establish the higher-order spacing distributions in random matrix ensembles beyond GOE, GUE and GSE and reveal a hierarchy of structures hidden in the energy spectrum.

For standard GOE,GUE and GSE, we can model either by their physical construction or by using Eq. (21) with \(\beta =1,2,4\) to get the energy spectrums, although the DOS might be different. We have verified that these two constructions work almost equally well when studying spacing distributions, even when the matrix is as small as \(200\times 200\)
