In this paper we study the cohomology of smooth projective complex surfaces S of general type with invariants pg = q = 2 and surjective Albanese morphism. We show that on a Hodge-theoretic level, the cohomology is described by the cohomology of the Albanese variety and a K3 surface X that we call the K3 partner of S. Furthermore, we show that...
