Abstract: This paper concerns the $L^2$ essential spectrum of the Laplacian $Delta$ and the drift Laplacian $Delt{a}_f$ on complete Riemannian manifolds endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}d;vo{l}_g$. We prove that the essential spectrum of the drift Laplacian $Delt{a}_f$ is $[0,+infty)$ provided the Bakry-'Emery curvature tensor $Ri{c}_f$ is nonnegative and $f$ has sublinear growth . When $Ri{c}_{f}geq1/2g$ and $|ablaf{|}^{2}leqf$, we show that the essential spectrum of the Laplacian is also $[0,+infty)$. During the proofs of these results, the $f$-volume growth estimate plays an important role and may be of independent interest.
