Abstract:	A certain nonlinear equation is used to compute the probability density function for the distance from an eigenvalue of a matrix from the GUE ensemble to the eigenvalue nearest to it. (The classical results concern distribution of the distances between consecutive eigenvalues.) Comparisons are made with the corresponding distribution for zeros of the Riemann zeta function, which are conjectured to behave like eigenvalues of large random GUE matrices.
