At June 16-21 the International conference "Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA)" was held in Florence (Italy). Alexander Kutsenko and Alexey Oblaukhov presented there talks:

A. Kutsenko: Isometric mappings of the set of all Boolean functions into itself which preserve self-duality and the Rayleigh quotient
A. Oblaukhov: Metrically regular subsets of the Boolean cube

Congratulations! Participants of the conference in Palazzo Borgheze are on the picture.
