This is a piece of code I implemented in 2004, which was supposed to be part of an R-package in multivariate testing (to be named, rather creatively, mvttests).
Time has flown, I haven’t still got around to implementing the said package, but people keep asking me for the sphericity.test function, so here it is, for posterity:

#### Performs a hypothesis test that a covariance matrix is of specified
#### form. Test is of the form H0: S1=sigma^2*S2. n is the number of
#### observations on which the sample covariance matrix is based.
#### If the input parameter estsigma is TRUE:
#### Perform test of the hypothesis that S1=sigma^2 S2, for unknown sigma.
#### If S2 not specified, assumed that S2=I. Reference is Basilevsky,
#### Statistical Factor Analysis and Related Methods, page 191.
#### If the input parameter estsigma is FALSE:
#### Perform test of the hypothesis that S1=S2. If S2 not specified,
#### assumed that S2=I. Reference is Seber, Multivariate Observations,
#### sec 3.5.4
#### Only the lower triangle+diagonal is required at entry, and the upper
#### triangle is ignored.
