Abstract

I review the current status of the charge asymmetry in hadronic top-quark pair production from a theory perspective. The standard-model predictions for the observables at the Tevatron and LHC are being discussed, as well as possible explanations of the Tevatron excess in terms of new physics. I give an outlook for future investigations of the top-quark charge asymmetry, focussing on novel observables at the LHC.
