Abstract: I In this paper, first we study a complete smooth metric measure space $(M^n,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with the ($infty$)-Bakry-'Emery Ricci curvature $extrm{Ric}_{f}gefraca2g$ for some positive constant $a$. It is known that the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian $Delt{a}_f$ for $M$ is discrete and the first nonzero eigenvalue of $Delt{a}_f$ has lower bound $fraca2$. We prove that if the lower bound $fraca2$ is achieved with multiplicity $kgeq1$, then $kleqn$, $M$ is isometric to $Sigm{a}^{n-k}imesmathbb{R}^k$ for some complete $(n-k)$-dimensional manifold $Sigma$ and by passing an isometry, $(M^n,g,e^{-f}dv)$ must split off a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton $(mathbb{R}^k,g_{can},fraca4|t{|}^2)$, $tinmathbb{R}^k$. This result has an application to gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Secondly, we study the drifted Laplacian $mathcalL$ for properly immersed self-shrinkers in the Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^{n+p}$, $pgeq1$ and show the discreteness of the spectrum of $mathcalL$ and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
