arXiv:2611.13991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove universal approximation for metaplectic neural operators on nonempty bounded Lipschitz domains. The nonlocal branches are whole-space metaplectic multipliers with zero extension and restriction, associated with any fixed free symplectic matrix. Assuming a smooth, globally Lipschitz, nonpolynomial activation, we obtain compact-uniform approximation of continuous operators from $C^s$ to $C^r$ and from $H^s$ to $H^r$ in the respective output norms, for arbitrary nonnegative integers $s,r$ and finite input and output channel dimensions. In the Sobolev setting, compact input sets must additionally be uniformly bounded in $L^\infty$. One hidden operator layer with one nonlocal branch suffices. A single scalar symbol atom and finitely many positional features are prescribed by the transform and domain independently of the target operator, compact set and accuracy. The proof combines averaging neural operator theory with an exact chirp-conjugated averaging identity and derivative estimates. The result includes Fourier and fixed nondegenerate fractional Fourier multiplier constructions.
