Their $\Pi^{*}$ product is defined as follows: \[ \Pi^{*} ( D_{i} \mid i \in I ) = \Pi ( D_{i}^{-} \mid i \in I ) + 1; \] that is, $\Pi^{*} ( D_{i} \mid i \in I )$ is $\Pi ( D_{i}^{-} \mid i \in I )$ with a new unit element. \end{definition} \begin{notation} \index{<@$\langle \dots, 0, \dots, d, \dots, 0, \dots \rangle$|textbf} If $i \in I$ and $d \in D_{i}^{-}$, then \[ \langle \ldots, 0, \ldots, d, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \] is the element of $\Pi^{*} ( D_{i} \mid i \in I )$ whose $i$-th component is $d$ and all the other components are $0$. \end{notation} See also Ernest~T. \index{Moynahan, Ernest~T.}% Moynahan~\cite{eM57a}. Next we verify the following result: \index{lattice}% \index{lattice!distributive}% \index{lattice!distributive!complete}% \begin{theorem}\label{T:P*} Let $D_{i}$, $i \in I$, be complete distributive lattices satisfying condition~\textup{(J)}. Let $\Theta$ be a complete congruence relation on $\Pi^{*} ( D_{i} \mid i \in I )$. If there exist $i \in I$ and $d \in D_{i}$ with $d < 1_{i}$ such that for all $d \leq c < 1_{i}$, \begin{equation}\label{E:cong} \langle \ldots, d, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \equiv \bigvee ( \langle \ldots, c, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \mid d \leq c < 1 ) \pmod{\Theta}. \end{equation} then $\Theta = \iota$. \end{theorem} \emph{Proof.} Since \begin{equation}\label{E:cong2} \langle \ldots, d, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \equiv \langle \ldots, c, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \pmod{\Theta}, \end{equation} and $\Theta$ is a complete congruence relation, it follows from condition~(J) that \begin{equation}\label{E:cong} \langle \ldots, d, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \equiv \bigvee ( \langle \ldots, c, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \mid d \leq c < 1 ) \pmod{\Theta}. \end{equation} Let $j \in I$, $j \neq i$, and let $a \in D_{j}^{-}$. Meeting both sides of the congruence (\ref{E:cong2}) with $\langle \ldots, a, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle$, we obtain that \begin{equation}\label{E:comp} 0 = \langle \ldots, a, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \pmod{\Theta}, \end{equation} Using the completeness of $\Theta$ and (\ref{E:comp}), we get: \index{<@$\langle \dots, 0, \dots, d, \dots, 0, \dots \rangle$}% \[ 0 \equiv \bigvee ( \langle \ldots, a, \ldots, 0, \ldots \rangle \mid a \in D_{j}^{-} ) = 1 \pmod{\Theta}, \] hence $\Theta = \iota$. \index{Main Theorem!exposition|)} \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{sF90}\index{Foo, Soo-Key}% Soo-Key Foo, \emph{Lattice Constructions}, Ph.D. thesis, University of Winnebago, Winnebago, MN, December, 1990. \bibitem{gM68}\index{Menuhin, George~A.}% George~A.
