A complete lattice such that the identity
$$ \left ( \wedge _ {i \in I } a _ {i} \right ) \ \wedge \left ( \lor _ {i \in I } b _ {i} \right ) = \ \lor _ {i \in I } ( a _ {i} \wedge b _ {i} ) $$
is valid for any of its elements $ a _ {i} , b _ {i} $, $ i \in I $, for which $ a _ {i} \geq b _ {j} $ if $ i \neq j $. Any complete Dedekind lattice is a modular lattice. If a universal algebra has commuting congruences, then its congruence lattice is a complete Dedekind lattice [1].

Comments
The term "Dedekind lattice" is seldom used in the English language literature, instead one uses modular lattice (cf. [a1]). However, a complete modular lattice is a complete lattice satisfying the (finite) modular law. The notion defined in the article above has no established name; it could be called a completely modular lattice.
