Bandwidth theorem for random graphs

A graph $G$ is said to have \textit{bandwidth} at most $b$, if there exists a labeling of the vertices by $1,2,..., n$, so that $|i - j| \leq b$ whenever $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. Recently, Böttcher, Schacht, and Taraz verified a conjecture of Bollobás and Komlós which says that for every positive $r,Δ,γ$, there exists $β$ such that if $H$ is an $n$-vertex $r$-chromatic graph with maximum degree at most $Δ$ which has bandwidth at most $βn$, then any graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $(1 - 1/r + γ)n$ contains a copy of $H$ for large enough $n$. In this paper, we extend this theorem to dense random graphs. For bipartite $H$, this answers an open question of Böttcher, Kohayakawa, and Taraz. It appears that for non-bipartite $H$ the direct extension is not possible, and one needs in addition that some vertices of $H$ have independent neighborhoods. We also obtain an asymptotically tight bound for the maximum number of vertex disjoint copies of a fixed $r$-chromatic graph $H_0$ which one can find in a spanning subgraph of $G(n,p)$ with minimum degree $(1-1/r + γ)np$.
