A note on some \((3,2k+1)\)-associative rings (Q1864533)

In [Pac. J. Math. 17, 301-309 (1966; Zbl 0136.02001)], \textit{D. Outcalt} defined \(S(2j+1, 2k+1)\) for a nonassociative ring \(R\), where \(k> j\geq 1\). Here the authors call \(R\) \((2j+1, 2k+1)\)-associative if \(S(2j+ 1, 2k+1)= 0\). Among other results, the authors prove the following: Let \(R\) be a \((3,2k+1)\)-associative ring which is \(p\)-torsion free for every prime number \(p\leq k\). Then \(R\) is associative if \(R\) is either a prime commutative ring, or a ring without proper right ideals.
