TTP06-28 Electroweak effects in top-quark pair production at Hadron Colliders

Top-quark physics plays an important r\^ole at hadron colliders

   such as the Tevatron at Fermilab or the upcoming 
   Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. 
   Given the planned experimental 
   precision, detailed theoretical predictions are 
   mandatory. In this article we present analytic results for the
   complete weak
   corrections to gluon-induced top-quark pair production
   --- neglecting purely photonic corrections, completing
   our earlier results for the quark-induced reaction. As an
   application we discuss top-quark pair production at the Tevatron and
   LHC. In particular we show that, although they are small for inclusive 
   quantities,
   weak corrections can be sizeable for differential distributions.
