Abstract

We consider the adjacency matrix of the ensemble of Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs which consists of graphs on NN vertices in which each edge occurs independently with probability pp. We prove that in the regime pN1pN \gg 1 these matrices exhibit bulk universality in the sense that both the averaged nn-point correlation functions and distribution of a single eigenvalue gap coincide with those of the GOE. Our methods extend to a class of random matrices which includes sparse ensembles whose entries have different variances.
