Apr 14, 2020 at 9:14 comment added Pat Beautiful...Many thanks!
Apr 14, 2020 at 8:19 comment added Francesco Polizzi You can construct examples where the Albanese fibres have multiple components but also contains components of multiplicity one by considering a variation of the isogenous constructions, where $G$ is allowed to have isolated fixed points on the product. Look at my paper arxiv.org/pdf/math/0703066.pdf and at the other related papers of mine on the arXiv.
Apr 14, 2020 at 8:08 comment added Francesco Polizzi CS surface is rigid. Morally, one expects that, one the surface is not rigid, the "general" element in moduli has reduced Albanese fibres.
Apr 14, 2020 at 8:07 comment added Francesco Polizzi For instance, Cartwright-Steger surface (which has $p_g=q=1$, $K^2=9$) has the property you want. See the main theorem here: arxiv.org/pdf/1412.4137.pdf
Apr 14, 2020 at 8:00 comment added Pat How can I find an example of a surface with $q=1$ such that $X\to \mathrm{Alb}(X)$ has no multiple fibres? If I start with one of your examples, I could consider ramified coverings of $X$, but I fear this might increase $q$...
Apr 14, 2020 at 7:57 comment added Francesco Polizzi No, of course it does not happen always
Apr 14, 2020 at 7:57 comment added Pat @abx That's a nice example, thank you! But I am wondering whether this always happens. (I think I phrased the question in a confusing manner. My apologies.) Basically, given a surface of general type $X$ with $q=1$, my question is whether we can prove that $X\to Alb(X)$ has a multiple fibre.

Apr 14, 2020 at 7:34 comment added abx It may certainly happen. Take an Enriques surface $S$; it admits an elliptic fibration $S\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ with 2 double fibers, say above $0$ and $1$. Now take a double cover $\pi :E\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ branched along 4 points $\neq 0,1$, and let $T$ be the pull back of $S$ by $\pi $; its Albanese map is the projection $p:T\rightarrow E$ with 4 double fibers. Then let $\rho :X\rightarrow T$ be a double covering branched along a smooth, ample curve in $T$, transversal to the double fibers. Its Albanese map $p\circ \rho $ still has 4 double fibers.
