Abstract: Nous montrons que les corps p-adiques et les corps de nombres totalement imaginaires v'erifient la propri'et'e C_1^1 conjectur'ee par Kato et Kuzumaki en 1986. Autrement dit, si k est l'un de ces corps et f(x_0, ..., x_n) est un polyn^ome homog`ene de degr'e au plus n `a coefficients dans k, tout 'el'ement de k secrit comme produit de normes depuis des extensions finies de k dans lesquelles f admet un z'ero non trivial. Nous 'etablissons aussi la conjecture d'Ax sur les corps pseudo-alg'ebriquement clos parfaits pour les corps dont le groupe de Galois absolu est un pro-p-groupe. ----- We prove that p-adic fields as well as totally imaginary number fields satisfy the C_1^1 property conjectured by Kato and Kuzumaki in 1986. In other words, if k denotes such a field and f(x_0, ..., x_n) is a homogeneous polynomial of degree at most n with coefficients in k, every element of k may be written as a product of norms from finite extensions of k in which f possesses a nontrivial zero. As a by-product of the proof, we also establish Ax's conjecture about perfect pseudo-algebraically closed fields for fields whose absolute Galois group is a pro-p-group.
