Abstract

The asymmetries in top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the LHC are reviewed. The experimental measurements and the interpretations of a possible excess in terms of new physics are summarized. Other top quark properties are also reviewed, emphasizing effects related to the tt¯ asymmetries, as well as other collider signals.
