Abstract: We consider fluctuations in the distribution of critical points - saddle points, minima and maxima - of 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.
