Standard isotrivial fibrations with p_g=q=1

Abstract

A smooth, projective surface $S$ of general type is said to be a \emph{standard isotrivial fibration} if there exist a finite group $G$ which acts faithfully on two smooth projective curves $C$ and $F$ so that $S$ is isomorphic to the minimal desingularization of $T:=(C \times F)/G$. If $T$ is smooth then $S=T$ is called a $\emph{quasi-bundle}$. In this paper we classify the standard isotrivial fibrations with $p_g=q=1$ which are not quasi-bundles, assuming that all the singularities of $T$ are rational double points. As a by-product, we provide several new examples of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=1$ and $K_S^2=4,6$.
