The matching condition which determines the effect of a heavy quark threshold on the running of the QCD coupling $\alpha_{\overline{MS}}$ is reviewed. The matching scale is arbitrary to some extent. However, this affects the value of…
One of the important goals at the future $e^+e^-$ colliders is to measure the top-quark mass and width in a scan of the pair production threshold. However, the shape of the pair-production cross section at the threshold depends also on…
We estimate the sensitivity to the top-quark Yukawa coupling $y_t$ at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. We go beyond the standard approach that focuses on $t\bar t h$ production and consider final states with a Higgs boson but not top quarks. The…
The agreement of electroweak measurements with theory places limits on the masses of the top quark and the $W$ boson. It is shown how these limits arise and what constraints various measurements (particularly a top quark mass determination)…
In this contribution I will highlight the new challenges for top quark physics at LHC Run II, focusing in particular on the interplay between precision studies on the top quark and searches for new physics. A new strategy to search for…
The top-quark mass can be determined with very high precision from a scan of the total $e^+e^-\to b\bar{b}W^+W^-X$ cross section near the top-pair production threshold. We present the full calculation of electroweak and non-resonant…
A new interaction that confines the top quark at the electroweak scale is proposed to account for a top quark mass potentially close in value to the electroweak scale.
In terms of an effective Lagrangian we investigate the possibilities of probing anomalous top quark couplings, $t \bar{t} H$, $\gamma t \bar{t}$, $Z t \bar{t}$ and $tWb$ at the future linear colliders. It is found that probing anomalous top…
We propose a measurement of the top Yukawa coupling at a 100 TeV hadron collider, based on boosted Higgs and top decays. We find that the top Yukawa coupling can be measured to 1%, with excellent handles for reducing systematic and…
We calculate the electroweak corrections of the order $O({m_t^2\over v^2})$ to the QCD production of $t\bar{t}$ pairs via $q+qbar->t+tbar$ at hadron colliders and show that these corrections to the total production rate are small. This…
The top quark, the heaviest quark and, indeed, the heaviest elementary particle known today, constitutes a novel probe of the long-lived medium in quark-gluon phase which, as expected, can be produced even in light nuclei collisions at…
It is well known that $CP$-violating coupling of the Yukawa interaction of top-quark is a promising candidate of a new source of $CP$ violation effect. Precisely measurement of its $CP$ properties is crucial for understanding new physics…
In the cosmological context, for the Standard Model to be valid up to the scale of inflation, the top quark Yukawa coupling $y_t$ should not exceed the critical value $y_t^{crit}$, coinciding with good precision (about 0.02%) with the…
Recent measurements of the $t\bar{t}$ cross section, performed both inclusively and differentially by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, are reported. In particular, off-shell effects are probed in the $pp\to W^+bW^-\bar{b}$ and $pp\to…
The presented results on top quark properties include measurements of the top quark pair charge asymmetry, the top quark polarization in pair production and single top production, the W helicity in top quark decays. Results of spin…

Overview on top couplings measurements is presented, and the prospects of future measurements are discussed. The coupling of top to the W boson can be examined either by looking at the decay of the top quark or from single top quark…
