It is well known that the lattice of topologies on a set forms a complete complemented lattice. The set of topologies which make G into a topological group form a complete lattice L(G) which is not a sublattice of the lattice of all topologies on G.

Let G be an infinite abelian group. No nontrivial Hausdorff topology in L(G) has a complement in L(G). If τ1 and τ2 are locally compact topologies then τ1Λτ2 is also a locally compact group topology. The situation when G is nonabelian is also considered.
