The exact spread of M23 is 8064
Abstract
We show that if x1,...,x8064 is a set of distinct non-trivial elements of the sporadic simple Mathieu group M23 then there exists an element y such that y,xi generates the whole group for every 0<i<8065 and that no larger set of distinct elements of M23 has this property.
