Isogeny classes of elliptic curves

The isogeny class (over a field KK) of an elliptic curve EE defined over KK is the set of all isomorphism classes of elliptic curves defined over KK that are isogenous to EE over KK. Over a number field KK this is always a finite set; over Q\Q, it has at most 8 elements by a theorem of Kenku [MR:0675184, 10.1016/0022-314X(82)90025-7].
