Abstract: In this paper a complete description of the linear maps phi:WnightarrowWn that preserve the Lorentz spectrum is given when n=2 and Wn is the space Mn of nimesn real matrices or the subspace Sn of Mn formed by the symmetric matrices. In both cases, it has been shown that phi(A)=PAP1 for all AinW2, where P is a matrix with a certain structure. It was also shown that such preservers do not change the nature of the Lorentz eigenvalues (that is, the fact that they are associated with Lorentz eigenvectors in the interior or on the boundary of the Lorentz cone). These results extend to n=2 those for ngeq3 obtained by Bueno, Furtado, and Sivakumar (2021). The case n=2 has some specificities, when compared to the case ngeq3, due to the fact that the Lorentz cone in mathbbR2 is polyedral, contrary to what happens when it is contained in mathbbRn with ngeq3. Thus, the study of the Lorentz spectrum preservers on Wn=Mn also follows from the known description of the Pareto spectrum preservers on Mn.
