A covariance formula for the number of excursion set components of Gaussian fields and applications

We derive a covariance formula for the number of excursion or level set components of a smooth stationary Gaussian field on R d contained in compact domains. We also present two applications of this formula: (1) for fields whose correlations are integrable we prove that the variance of the component...
