Abstract: It is well known that spectral Tur'{a}n type problem is one of the most classical {problems} in graph theory. In this paper, we consider the spectral Tur'{a}n type problem. Let G be a graph and let mathcalG be a set of graphs, we say G is extit{mathcalG-free} if G does not contain any element of mathcalG as a subgraph. Denote by lambda1 and lambda2 the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A(G) of G, respectively. In this paper we focus on the characterization of graphs without short odd cycles according to the adjacency eigenvalues of the graphs. Firstly, an upper bound on lambda12k+lambda22k of n-vertex C3,C5,ldots,C2k+1-free graphs is established, where k is a positive integer. All the corresponding extremal graphs are identified. Secondly, a sufficient condition for non-bipartite graphs containing an odd cycle of length at most 2k+1 in terms of its spectral radius is given. At last, we characterize the unique graph having the maximum spectral radius among the set of n-vertex non-bipartite graphs with odd girth at least 2k+3, which solves an open problem proposed by Lin, Ning and Wu [Eigenvalues and triangles in graphs, Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2) (2021) 258-270].
