Abstract

We consider the error term P3(R) = #{n ∈ ℤ3 :|n| [les ] R} − 4|3πR3 which occurs in the counting of lattice points in a sphere of radius R. By considering second and third power moments, we prove that P3(R) = Ω±(R√log R). An upper bound for the gap between the sign changes of P3(R) is also proved.
