- The Riesz gas in one-dimension consists of particles interacting via a pair potential, ${\rm sgn}(s) |x - x'|^{-s}$, $s \ne 0$ and $-\log | x - x'|$ for $s=0$. In the infinite density limit, with the particle support the interval $[-1,1]$, we apply a functional derivative method due to Beenakker to compute the covariance of two smooth linear statistics for the Riesz gas with exponent $s \in (-1,1)$, $s \ne 0$. This we give in terms of a sum over Fourier components of the linear statistics with respect to a Gegenbauer polynomial $\{C_n^{(s/2)}(x) \}$ basis, which generalises a known form in the case $s=0$ involving a cosine expansion. For the power sum linear statistic, our general formula can be reduced to a product of gamma function form, and compared against recent exact results in the literature for this case.
