Measurements involving top quarks provide important tests of QCD. A selected set of top quark measurements in CMS including the strong coupling constant, top quark pole mass, constraints on parton distribution functions, top quark pair differential cross sections, ttbar+0 and >0 jet events, top quark mass studied using various kinematic variables in different phase-space regions, and alternative top quark mass measurements is presented. The evolution of expected uncertainties in future LHC runs for the standard and alternative top quark mass measurements is also presented.

Experimental results on top-quark physics obtained at the CMS experiment are reported based on the data recorded at centre-of-mass energy up to 13 TeV. Inclusive and differential cross sections for both top-quark pair and single top-quark production are presented, as well as measurements of top-quark properties in production and decay, and searches for anomalous couplings. The presented measurements test theoretical predictions, including recent perturbative QCD calculations, provide constraints of fundamental standard model parameters, and set limits on physics beyond the standard model.
Measurements of several top-quark properties, obtained from the CMS data collected in 2011 and 2012 at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV are presented. The results include measurements of the top pair charge asymmetry, the W helicity in top quark decays and the search for anomalous couplings, the top quark charge, and of the ttbar spin correlation. The fraction of top quarks decaying into a W-boson and a b-quark relative to all top quark decays, R=Br(t->Wb)/Br(t->Wq), as well as, the cross sections of ttbar events produced in association with a photon or a W or a Z boson are also presented.
Recent top quark event modelling studies done using CMS proton-proton data collected at a centre of mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV and state-of-the-art theoretical predictions accurate to next-to-leading order QCD interfaced with PYTHIA and HERWIG event generators are summarised. The particle-level top quark (pseudo-top), underlying event measurement in ttbar events and parton shower tuning using ttbar events are discussed.
Single top-quark t-channel production is exploited for studies of top quark properties. The analyses include the measurement of the CKM matrix element, $|V_{tb}|$, search for anomalous couplings of the top quark using a Bayesian neural network analysis, measurement of single top-quark polarization which directly confirms the V-A nature of the $tWb$ production vertex, and the measurement of W-helicity fractions in the phase space sampled by a selection optimized for t-channel single top-quark production, orthogonal to the $toverline{t}$ final states used in traditional measurements of these properties. All measurements are found to be consistent with the standard model predictions.
Recent top quark event modeling studies done using LHC proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at centre of mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV and state-of-the-art theoretical predictions are summarized. A new factorized approach for parton shower uncertainties is presented. A top quark specific PYTHIA8 CMS tune, along with tunes using new color reconnection models, is discussed. The possibility of having a consistent choice of parton distribution function in the matrix element and the parton shower is demonstrated with tunes constructed with leading, next-to-leading, and next-to-next-to-leading ord
