The electroweak contribution to top quark pair production: cross sections and asymmetries

Abstract

In this talk we review the electroweak contribution to top quark pair production at hadron colliders. We discuss the phenomenological impact of these corrections on the cross sections and on the charge asymmetries at the Tevatron and the LHC.
