Bloch's conjecture on surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=0, K^2=3$ and with an involution

Abstract

In this short note we prove that an involution on certain examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0=q, K^2=3$, acts as identity on the Chow group of zero cycles of the relevant surface. In particular we consider examples of such surfaces when the quotient is bi-rational to an Enriques surface or to a surface of Kodaira dimension one and show that the Bloch conjecture holds for such surfaces.
