Abstract: The reticulation of an algebra $A$ is a bounded distributive lattice $calL(A)$ whose prime spectrum of filters or ideals is homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of congruences of $A$, endowed with the Stone topologies. We have obtained a construction for the reticulation of any algebra $A$ from a semi-degenerate congruence-modular variety $calC$ in the case when the commutator of $A$, applied to compact congruences of $A$, produces compact congruences, in particular when $calC$ has principal commutators; furthermore, it turns out that weaker conditions than the fact that $A$ belongs to a congruence-modular variety are sufficient for $A$ to have a reticulation. This construction generalizes the reticulation of a commutative unitary ring, as well as that of a residuated lattice, which in turn generalizes the reticulation of a BL-algebra and that of an MV-algebra. The purpose of constructing the reticulation for the algebras from $calC$ is that of transferring algebraic and topological properties between the variety of bounded distributive lattices and $calC$, and a reticulation functor is particularily useful for this transfer. We have defined and studied a reticulation functor for our construction of the reticulation in this context of universal algebra.
