arXiv:2604.12827v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study fixed-design random feature ridge regression beyond the mean-kernel approximation. The expectation is taken over the frozen-feature ensemble, conditional on the training sample. Because the predictor is a nonlinear function of the empirical kernel, its mean training error, test error, and conditional generalization gap depend on centered kernel covariances as well as on mean kernel objects. We derive the covariance-level, or one-loop, corrections from a finite resolvent identity. This avoids an almost-sure Neumann-series assumption and yields an explicit remainder bound for the training error. The test correction additionally requires mixed train--test covariance tensors and therefore cannot, in general, be recovered from the train-restricted kernel law alone. Numerical experiments show that the covariance term removes the leading inverse-width discrepancy in a controlled regularization regime, while an ablation that discards the mixed train--test covariance fails for the test error even though the training correction is unchanged. They also identify a width--regularization boundary, measured by a resolvent-fluctuation diagnostic, beyond which the second-order truncation loses accuracy. All inverse-width statements are for fixed sample size, depth, design, and positive kernel-level regularization. The analysis concerns frozen features and does not model feature learning or neural-tangent-kernel evolution.
