Asymmetries in top quark pair production at hadron colliders

Abstract

We review the asymmetries in top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the LHC. We summarize the experimental measurements and the interpretations of a possible excess in terms of new physics. We also review other top quark properties-emphasizing effects related to the $t\bar{t}$ asymmetries-as well as other collider signals.
