We highlight the challenge of proving correlation boundsbetween boolean functions and integer-valued polynomials,where any non-boolean output counts against correlation.
We prove that integer-valued polynomials of degree 21log2log2n have correlation with parity at mostzero. Such a result is false for modular and thresholdpolynomials. Its proof is based on a variant of ananti-concentration result by Costello, Tao, and Vu (DukeMath.~J. 2006).
