We consider the error termP 3 ( R ) = # { n ∈ Z 3 : | n | ⩽ R } − 4 3 π R 3which occurs in the counting of lattice points in a sphere of radius R . By considering second and third power moments, we prove thatP 3 ( R ) = Ω ± ( R l o g R) . An upper bound for the gap between the sign changes of P 3 ( R ) is also proved. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 11P21.
