Abstract

We give an overview of recent results for the nuclear equation of state and properties of neutron stars based on microscopic two- and three-nucleon interactions derived within chiral effective field theory (EFT). It is demonstrated that the application of Renormalization Group (RG) transformations allows efficient, controlled and simplified calculations of nuclear matter.
