Abstract
Correlations in Gaussian speckle patterns are discussed for the intensity and the phase, as well as for the real and imaginary parts of the wavefunction. Application of the sampling theorem to the wave field is described, and five topologically mandated deterministic rules are enumerated that constrain many aspects of the field structure. A brief overview is given of wave-field correlation matrices containing several million coefficients.
