I present high-order calculations, including soft-gluon corrections, for single-top and top-antitop production cross sections and differential distributions. For single-top production, results are presented for the three different channels in the Standard Model, for associated production with a charged Higgs, and for processes involving anomalous couplings. For top-antitop pair production, total cross sections and top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions are presented for various LHC energies.

Recent theoretical studies have provided new insight into the intrinsic transverse momentum distributions of valence and sea quarks in the nucleon at a low scale. The valence quark transverse momentum distributions ([Formula: see text]) are governed by the nucleon's inverse hadronic size R-1 ~ 0.2 GeV and drop steeply at large pT. The sea quark distributions ([Formula: see text]) are in large part generated by non–perturbative chiral–symmetry breaking interactions and extend up to the scale ρ-1 ~ 0.6 GeV. These findings have many implications for modeling the initial conditions of perturbative QCD evolution of TMD distributions (starting scale, shape of pT distributions, coordinate–space correlation functions). The qualitative difference between valence and sea quark intrinsic pT distributions could be observed experimentally, by comparing the transverse momentum distributions of selected hadrons in semi–inclusive deep–inelastic scattering, or those of dileptons produced in pp and [Formula: see text] scattering.

We discuss the most recent calculations of the top quark total cross section and transverse momentum distributions at the Tevatron and the LHC. These calculations include the soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). The soft NNLO corrections stabilize the scale dependence of the cross section.
