Aug 30, 2012 at 19:55 comment added Damian Rössler Sorry, I understand the meaning of $p$-isogeny now. Forget my comment.
Aug 30, 2012 at 19:50 comment added Noam D. Elkies @ Damian Rössler the isogeny need not be between $E$ and $E$ itself.
Aug 30, 2012 at 19:49 comment added Noam D. Elkies Well for large enough $p$ there shouldn't be such an isogeny at all, so the desired result should be vacuously true... Anyway over ${\bf Q}$ it is not quite enough to take $p=17$ (the 17-isogeny mentioned in modular.math.washington.edu/Tables/antwerp/table1/small_80.jpg involves curves with multiplicative reduction at $2$), but $p=19$ is sufficiently large.
Aug 30, 2012 at 19:44 comment added Damian Rössler If $E$ has an isogeny, which is not multiplication by an integer, then $E$ is CM (over $\bar K$). See for instance Silverman, III, Cor. 9.4 p. 102 of "Arithmetic of elliptic curves". But this seems to contradict your hypothesis.
Aug 30, 2012 at 19:41 comment added Felipe Voloch Doesn't the work of Merel answer your question? At least it provides an optimal quotient. See mathoverflow.net/questions/62950/…
