Abstract We investigate various weak conditions ensuring that a lattice be complemented. Using these general results in connection with a famous result due to Lampe, we show that the lattice of all equational theories containing a fixed theory must be complemented if it is lower semicomplemented, thereby answering in the affirmative a question raised by Volkov and Vernikov. Moreover, such a lattice must be a finite Boolean algebra if it has one of the following properties: upper or lower sectionally complemented; incomparably complemented; lower semicomplemented and lower semimodular; or atomistic and upper semimodular.
