Blow-up lemmas for sparse graphs
  The blow-up lemma states that a system of super-regular pairs contains all bounded degree spanning graphs as subgraphs that embed into a corresponding system of complete pairs. This lemma has far-reaching applications in extremal combinatorics.   We prove sparse analogues of the blow-up lemma for subgraphs of random and of pseudorandom graphs. Our main results are the following three sparse versions of the blow-up lemma: one for embedding spanning graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ in subgraphs of $G(n,p)$ with $p=C(\log n/n)^{1/\Delta}$; one for embedding spanning graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ and degeneracy $D$ in subgraphs of $G(n,p)$ with $p=C_\Delta\big(\log n/n\big)^{1/(2D+1)}$; and one for embedding spanning graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ in $(p,cp^{\max(4,(3\Delta+1)/2)}n)$-bijumbled graphs.   We also consider various applications of these lemmas.
