## An arithmetic ball quotient surface whose Albanese variety is not of CM type

 1 Department of Mathematics, Duke University, Box 90320, Durham, NC 27708-0320, United States

Received  October 2013 Revised  May 2014 Published  September 2014

An example is given of a compact quotient of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^2$ by an arithmetic group acting freely such that the Albanese variety is not of CM type. Such examples do not exist for congruence subgroups.
