There is a natural Galois connection between subspace lattices and operator algebras on a Banach space which arises from the notion of invariance. If a subspace lattice ℒ is completely distributive, then ℒ is reflexive. In this paper we study the more general situation of complete lattices for which the least complete congruence δ on ℒ such that ℒ/δ is completely distributive is well-behaved. Our results are purely lattice theoretic, but the motivation comes from operator theory.
