À la recherche de petites sommes d'exponentielles
[In search of small exponential sums]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 52 (2002) no. 1, pp. 47-80.

Let f(x) be a rational function, with integer coefficients, satisfying rather general assumptions. We prove the existence of infinitely many integers n, with exactly two prime divisors, such that the exponential sum x=1 n exp2 π i f ( x ) / n is O(n 1 2-β f ), where β f >0 is a constant only depending on the geometrical data of f. We also give Sato-Tate type results for some Salié sums modulo n, with n an integer as above.

Soit f(x) une fraction rationnelle à coefficients entiers, vérifiant des hypothèses assez générales. On prouve l’existence d’une infinité d’entiers n, ayant exactement deux facteurs premiers, tels que la somme d’exponentielles x=1 n exp2 π i f ( x ) / n soit en O(n 1 2-β f ), où β f >0 est une constante ne dépendant que de la géométrie de f. On donne aussi des résultats de répartition du type Sato-Tate, pour certaines sommes de Salié, modulo n, avec n entier comme ci- dessus.
