Abstract: Let $L$ be a number field and let $E/L$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the ring of integers $mathcal{O}_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$. We use class field theory and results of Skorobogatov and Zarhin to compute the transcendental part of the Brauer group of the abelian surface $EimesE$. The results for the odd order torsion also apply to the Brauer group of the K3 surface $extrmKum(EimesE)$. We describe explicitly the elliptic curves $E/mathbbQ$ with complex multiplication by $mathcal{O}_K$ such that the Brauer group of $EimesE$ contains a transcendental element of odd order. We show that such an element gives rise to a Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation on $extrmKum(EimesE)$, while there is no obstruction coming from the algebraic part of the Brauer group.
