We consider spectral properties and the edge universality of sparse random matrices, the class of random matrices that includes the adjacency matrices of the ErdAs-R,nyi graph model G(N, p). We prove a local law for the eigenvalue density up to the spectral edges. Under a suitable condition on the sparsity, we also prove that the rescaled extremal eigenvalues exhibit GOE Tracy-Widom fluctuations if a deterministic shift of the spectral edge due to the sparsity is included. For the adjacency matrix of the ErdAs-R,nyi graph this establishes the Tracy-Widom fluctuations of the second largest eigenvalue when p is much larger than wth a deterministic shift of order (Np)(-1)..
