Abstract: In this paper, we show sharp estimates for the first eigenvalue $ \lambda _{1, p}$ of the weighted $ p$-Laplacian on smooth metric measure spaces $ (M, g, e^{-f}dv)$. When the Bakry-Émery curvature $ Ric_f$ is bounded from below and the
weighted function $ f$ is of sublinear growth, we prove some rigidity properties provided that the first eigenvalue $ \lambda _{1, p}$ obtains its optimal value.
