We consider the ensemble of adjacency matrices of Erdos-Renyi random graphs, that is, graphs on N vertices where every edge is chosen independently and with probability p equivalent to p(N). We rescale the matrix so that its bulk eigenvalues are of order one. We prove that, as long as pN -> infinity (with a speed at least logarithmic in N), the density of eigenvalues of the Erdos-Renyi ensemble is given by the Wigner semicircle law for spectral windows of length larger than N-1 (up to logarithmic corrections). As a consequence, all eigenvectors are proved to be completely delocalized in the sense that the l(infinity)-norms of the l(2)-normalized eigenvectors are at most of order N-1/2 with a very high probability. The estimates in this paper will be used in the companion paper [Spectral statistics of Erdos-Renyi graphs II: Eigenvalue spacing and the extreme eigenvalues (2011) Preprint] to prove the universality of eigenvalue distributions both in the bulk and at the spectral edges under the further restriction that pN >> N-2/3.
