Critical point correlations in random Gaussian fields

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider fluctuations in the distribution of critical pointssaddle points, minima and maximaof random Gaussian fields. We calculate the asymptotic limits of the two point correlation function for various critical-point densities, for both long and short range. We perform the calculation for any dimension of the field, provide explicit formulae for two and three dimensions and verify our results with numerical calculations.
