Abstract: Maxwell's multipoles are a natural geometric characterisation of real functions on the sphere (with fixed $ell$). The correlations between multipoles for gaussian random functions are calculated, by mapping the spherical functions to random polynomials. In the limit of high $ell,$ the 2-point function tends to a form previously derived by Hannay in the analogous problem for the Majorana sphere. The application to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is discussed.
