contents In this paper, sharp bounds for the first nonzero eigenvalues of different type have been obtained. Moreover, when those bounds are achieved, related rigidities can be characterized. More precisely, first, by applying the Bishop-type volume comparison proven in [10,13] and the Escobar-type eigenvalue comparisons for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue of the Laplacian proven in [26], for manifolds with radial sectional curvature upper bound, under suitable preconditions, we can show that the first nonzero Wentzell eigenvalue of the geodesic ball on these manifolds can be bounded from above by that of the geodesic ball with the same radius in the model space (i.e., spherically symmetric manifolds) determined by the curvature bound. Besides, this upper bound for the first nonzero Wentzell eigenvalue can be achieved if and only if these two geodesic balls are isometric with each other. This conclusion can be seen as an extension of eigenvalue comparisons in [9,26]. Second, we prove a general Reilly formula for the drifting Laplacian, and then use the formula to give a sharp lower bound for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue of the drifting Laplacian on compact smooth metric measure spaces with boundary and convex potential function. Besides, this lower bound can be achieved only for the Euclidean ball of the prescribed radius.
