Abstract
For an infinite group , the poset of group topologies constitutes a complete lattice. Although is modular when is abelian, this property fails to persist for nilpotent groups. Extending Arnautov's 2010 work on the semi-modularity of for nilpotent groups, we present an alternative proof with enhanced structural clarity. Additionally, we resolve two open questions from the Kourovka Notebook regarding lattice-theoretic properties of : (1) explicit construction of a countably infinite non-abelian nilpotent group with modular topology lattice, and (2) establishing the absence of property in infinite abelian groups.
