On the Gauss sphere problem

Source abstract

In this article we improve Heath-Brown's estimate for the error term in the three-dimensional sphere problem, proving $$\#\{\mathbf x\in\mathbb Z^3:\|\mathbf x\|\le R\}=\frac{4π}{3}R^3+O_\varepsilon(R^{55/42+\varepsilon}).$$ Incoporating the recent OpenAI quasi-GRH into our argument further improves this to $$\#\{\mathbf x\in\mathbb Z^3:\|\mathbf x\|\le R\}= \frac{4π}{3}R^3+O_\varepsilon(R^{\frac{2274811}{1743872}+\varepsilon}).$$
