Abstract

I present high-precision results for top quark production at hadron collider energies. Total and differential cross sections are calculated through aN$^3$LO for top-antitop pair production and through aNNLO for single-top production. Top production in association with a charged Higgs boson and via anomalous couplings is also briefly discussed.
