Let A be a ring (not necessarily associative) in which 2x = a has a unique solution for each a ∈ A. Then it is known that if A contains an identity element 1 and an involution j : x ↦ x and if Ja is the canonical involution on An determined by

where the ai al−l, 1 ≦ i ≦ n are symmetric elements in the nucleus of A then H(An, Ja), the set of symmetric elements of An, for n ≧ 3 is a Jordan ring if and only if either A is associative or n = 3 and A is an alternative ring whose symmetric elements lie in its nucleus [2, p. 127].
