Abstract: Chiral perturbation theory is a useful tool to develop consistent two-and more-baryon interactions based on the symmetries of Quantum Chromo Dynamics. In this talk, I will discuss predictions for the binding energies of the light hypernuclei 3-Lambda-H, 4-Lambda-He and 4-Lambda-H based on chiral hyperon-nucleon interactions in leading and next-to-leading order. For the application to larger systems, it is necessary to evolve such interactions using the similarity renormalization group. After a brief introduction to this method, I will use binding energies of light hypernuclei to quantify the contribution of three-baryon interactions induced by this technique.
