We study the long range part of the {lambda}-hyperon optical potential in nuclei using quantum many body techniques and flavor-SU(3) chiral Lagrangians as starting point. More precisely, we study the contributions to the {lambda}-hyperon optical potential due to the long-range two-pion exchange, with {sigma} and {sigma}* baryons in the internal baryonic lines and considering Nh and {delta}h excitations. We also consider the contribution to the spin-orbit potentials that comes out from these terms. Our results support a natural explanation of the smallness of the {lambda}-nuclear spin-orbit interaction and show the importance of the {sigma}* and {delta} degrees of freedom for the hyperon-nucleus interactions.
