We summarize calculations of the cross section for top quark production at hadron colliders within the context of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, including resummation of the effects of initial-state soft gluon radiation to all orders in the strong coupling strength. In our approach we resum the universal leading-logarithm contributions, and we restrict the calculation to the region of phase space that is demonstrably perturbative. We compare our approach with other methods. We present predictions of the physical cross section as a function of the top quark mass in proton-antiproton reactions at center-of-mass energies of 1.8 and 2.0 TeV, and we discuss estimated uncertainties.
