Let $A$ be a CQG Hopf $*$-algebra, i.e. a Hopf $*$-algebra with a positive invariant state. Given a unital right coideal $*$-subalgebra $B$ of $A$, we provide conditions for the existence of a quasi-invariant integral on the stabilizer…

We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and…
