Estimation of certain exponential sums arising in complexity theory
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 340 (2005) no. 9, pp. 627-631.

It is shown that the correlation on {0,1}n between parity and a polynomial p(x1,,xn)Z[X1,,Xn](modq), q a fixed odd number and p(X) of degree d arbitrary but fixed, is exponentially small in n as n. An application to circuit complexity, from where the problem originates, is given.

On démontre que la corrélation sur {0,1}n de la fonction parité et un polynôme p(x1,,xn)Z[X1,,Xn](modq), q un entier impair donné et p(X) de degré d arbitraire mais fixé, est exponentiellement petite en n pour n. On obient une application en théorie de complexité où la question trouve son origine.
