A modern reference for the Piltz divisor problem
apparently, the Dirichlet hyperbola method is no longer up-to-date, and instead Voronoi's identity is used in order to establish good bounds on the Dirichlet divisor problem.
The same applies to the ...

Maximal order of Hooley's Delta function?
There is a large literature on Hooley's
$$
\Delta(n)=\max_u\sum_{d|n,\ e^u\le d< e^{u+1}}1
$$
giving its normal and average order. What is known of its maximal order?
Clearly $\Delta(n)\le d(n)$ ...
