arXiv:2605.26585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the adversarial kernel bandit problem, in which the loss at each round is induced by an arbitrary bounded element of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We propose an exponential-weights algorithm built on a regularized importance-weighted loss estimator, together with an explicit correction term that cancels the bias introduced by the regularization. Our main result bounds the regret by $\widetilde{{O}}\big(\sqrt{T\, d_*(\lambda)\,\log|{X}|}\big)$, where $d_*(\lambda)$ is a widely-adopted notion of effective dimension that captur
