The International Conference on Operators and Spectral Theory (ICOST 2025) stands as a premier forum for the dissemination and advancement of research in this vital area of mathematical analysis. Convening distinguished scholars, emerging researchers, and dedicated practitioners from across the globe, ICOST 2025 will offer a dynamic environment for the exchange of ideas, the presentation of significant theoretical developments, and the exploration of innovative methodologies. Participants are encouraged to contribute original research, engage in rigorous academic discourse, and forge meaningful professional collaborations. The conference program will feature plenary lectures delivered by eminent figures in the field, specialized workshops addressing current challenges and frontiers, as well as interactive sessions designed to stimulate critical dialogue and scholarly engagement. Through these diverse activities, ICOST 2025 seeks not only to promote excellence in research but also to cultivate a vibrant intellectual community, inspiring new directions in the study of Operators and Spectral Theory. Attendees will find ample opportunity to expand their expertise, build lasting academic networks, and contribute to shaping the future trajectory of the discipline.
About the Topic: Operator Theory and Spectral Theory are vital branches of Functional Analysis, exploring the behavior of linear operators on infinite-dimensional spaces. This mathematical framework has profound implications across various domains, from quantum mechanics and signal processing to differential equations and control theory.
St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth, established in 1968 and affiliated with the University of Calicut, is a premier government-aided institution run by the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate.

The Department of Mathematics at St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth was established in 1968 with a pre-degree course and quickly gained a reputation for academic excellence. In 1982, it expanded to offer an undergraduate program affiliated to the University of Calicut, marking a key milestone in its growth. Over the years, the department has evolved through strong leadership and dedicated faculty, guiding it through various phases including accreditation and curriculum development. A major academic advancement came with the launch of a Post Graduate course in Mathematics, elevating the department’s academic standing. Today, with a team of qualified faculty and a focus on both teaching and research, the department continues to thrive and aspires to become a recognized center for mathematical research in the near future. In 1982, it began offering a B.Sc. Mathematics program, which has grown over the years to include B.Sc. Mathematics Honours and M.Sc. Mathematics, reflecting the department’s expanding academic vision.
