Abstract

We study surfaces of general type SS with pg=0p_g=0 and K2=3K^2=3 having an involution ii such that the bicanonical map of SS is not composed with ii. It is shown that, if S/iS/i is not rational, then S/iS/i is birational to an Enriques surface or it has Kodaira dimension 11 and the possibilities for the ramification divisor of the covering map SS/iS\rightarrow S/i are described. We also show that these two cases do occur, providing an example. In this example SS has a hyperelliptic fibration of genus 33 and the bicanonical map of SS is of degree 22 onto a rational surface.
