Abstract
The goal of this paper is to estimate the total variation distance between two general stochastic polynomials. As a consequence, one obtains an invariance principle for such polynomials. This generalizes known results concerning the total variation distance between two multiple stochastic integrals on one hand, and invariance principles in Kolmogorov distance for multilinear stochastic polynomials on the other hand. As an application, we first discuss the asymptotic behavior of U-statistics associated to polynomial kernels. Moreover, we also give an example of CLT associated to quadratic forms.
