a b s t r a c tA smooth, projective surface S is called a standard isotrivial fibration if there exists 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 × F )/G. Standard isotrivial fibrations of general type with p g = q = 1 have been classified in [F. Polizzi, Standard isotrivial fibrations with p g = q = 1, J. Algebra 321 (2009),1600-1631] under the assumption that T has only Rational Double Points as singularities. In the present paper we extend this result, classifying all cases where S is a minimal model. As a by-product, we provide the first examples of minimal surfaces of general type with p g = q = 1, K 2 S = 5and Albanese fibration of genus 3. Finally, we show with explicit examples that the case where S is not minimal actually occurs.
