Abstract
We study the behaviour of the point process of critical points of isotropic stationary Gaussian fields. We compute the main term in the asymptotic expansion of the two-point correlation function near the diagonal. Our main result implies that for a 'generic' field the critical points neither repel nor attract each other. Our analysis also allows to study how the short-range behaviour of critical points depends on their index.
