Internal diffusion limited aggregation is a cluster model in \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) which is formed by independent random walkers starting at the origin, which add the first point they visit, which is not yet contained in the cluster, to it. It was shown by the author with M. Bramson and D. Griffeath [Ann. Probab. 20, No. 4, 2117-2140 (1992; Zbl 0762.60096)] that the clusters have the limiting shape of a sphere. In the present paper it is shown that for \(d \geq 2\) the fluctuations are of order at most \(n^{1/3}\) up to logarithmic corrections, hence subdiffusive which had been suggested nonrigorously.
