I more or less designated myself as the official photographer of the Fouvry60 conference, and took many pictures, quite a few of which turned out rather well. Certainly, when I view them, I think they give an accurate impression of the atmosphere of the conference. In this post I will just preview a very small selection — I and the other organizers are attempting to find the best way to make the full set available for the participants (at least.)

Any time we use Pari/GP for number-theoretic computations, we can thank Karim and Henri (and a few others) for their work; Henri is currently working on a new modular forms script for Pari…
Henryk Iwaniec presented his work with Brian Conrey in extending the Levinson-Conrey method to allow long mollifiers.
Cécile Dartyge, before she presented her very impressive work on the largest prime divisors of values of a polynomial of degree $latex 4$.
Tim Browning remembers his first meeting with Fouvry…

J. Klüners discussed his work with Fouvry on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics and the negative Pell equation; note the last line of the slide: “I can do this”; when collaborating with Fouvry, you have a good chance of receiving such a reassuring message at a tricky point of the work…
