Addendum to "Energies of zeros of random sections on Riemann surfaces" [arXiv:0705.2000]. Indiana Univ. Math. J. 57 (2008), no. 4, 1753-1780

This is an addendum to the article of Qi Zhong cited above [arXiv:0705.2000]. It outlines how to apply the main result of that article to calculate the asymptotics of the expected energy of zeros of random polynomials on the Riemann sphere $S^2$ with respect to the log chordal distance $\log [z, w]$. The cited article did not calculate the asymptotic energy this way, but by an ad-hoc method, and the calculation contained some errors. The correct calculation here agrees (up to the stipulted remainder) with that of Armentano- Beltran-Shub.
